Peace Gong Parks Kertalangu

Quiet Green Pocket on the Bypass

Set along Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai No.88X in Kesiman Kertalangu, Peace Gong Parks Kertalangu sits inside the wider Desa Budaya Kertalangu cultural village in Denpasar. Visitors come mainly for fresh air, views over the surrounding rice fields, and a slow loop away from Bali’s heavier traffic.

There is no dedicated active website for the park; information filters through denpasartourism.com and a handful of community Facebook pages, so most people arrive with limited expectations and discover the place on foot.

World Peace Gong and Symbolic Corners

At the heart of the park stands the Taman Gong Perdamaian Kertalangu, better known as the World Peace Gong. Around it, flags and statues of world leaders form a small, photo‑friendly plaza that many reviews single out as the most distinctive spot.

Some visitors consider this an educational stop, especially for children, thanks to the visual display of flags and figures. Others, noted in Google reviews, feel the surrounding museum‑style elements and statues could be better maintained.

Jogging Track and Rice‑Field Walks

A 4 km jogging track circles the rice fields, drawing local runners and walkers early in the morning and toward the end of the day. Because the rizières are a relatively open zone, the path is often used outside the core park hours.

People mention the place as a “poumon vert” in Denpasar, a rare patch where you can hear your own footsteps and see wide‑open paddies while being just off a major road. It suits anyone wanting light exercise rather than a structured tour.

Opening Hours, Access and Pricing

The park and its main attractions are generally open from 08h00 to 18h00 every day. Access comes straight off the Bypass Ngurah Rai, making it straightforward for those based in Sanur or central Denpasar.

Entry is described as very affordable, often around 10 000 – 25 000 IDR according to aggregated reviews, with separate tickets or payments likely for specific cultural‑village zones or activities, though exact structures are not specified.

What Visitors Like—and Don’t

Across Google Maps and local aggregators, the park hovers around 4.3 / 5. Positive comments praise the calm setting, the rice‑field scenery, and the low price point; several reviews from 2023–2024 highlight it as a pleasant, low‑key morning outing.

Critical notes focus on areas that feel ageing, from statues to museum corners, and on the lack of clear information about events, workshops or extra activities such as horse riding. Some confusion also appears between the free‑feeling open spaces and the ticketed cultural‑village sections.

Digital Quiet, Offline Appeal

Official communication is almost absent: no active blue‑check Instagram, no recent centralised posts, and older domains like wpgpark.com described as inactive. Most current images and updates come from user‑generated content tagged #desabudayakertalangu or #gongperdamaian.

Peace Gong Parks Kertalangu will suit travellers and locals who value a calm walk, a budget‑friendly jog and a symbolic monument over polished facilities or high‑tech experiences.
