Ocean Park BSD City

History and Evolution of Ocean Park BSD City

Officially opened to the public in 2008, Ocean Park BSD City is part of the independent area development by Sinar Mas Land. Its construction aimed to provide world-class entertainment facilities for residents of South Tangerang and its surroundings. Over time, this place has continued to evolve through the addition of new rides that follow global technological trends without abandoning its main tropical and family-friendly characteristics.

The success of Ocean Park in operating for over a decade demonstrates its management's dedication to maintaining safety and cleanliness standards. Digital transformation in ticketing systems and strict routine maintenance make it a relevant and competitive destination amidst the emergence of various new amusement parks in the Jabodetabek area.

Variety of Rides and Recreational Activities

Ocean Park BSD City stands on approximately 8.5 hectares of land, filled with various water rides designed to boost adrenaline or for relaxation.

Adrenaline-Pumping Rides

For visitors seeking a challenge, the Flying Tower is a must-try highlight. This ride features four types of slides with different heights: Stroom Tower, Shocking Tower, Giant Mushroom, and Wave Splash. Each slide offers a different sensation of speed and twists before landing in the pool. Additionally, there is the Racer Slide, where visitors can race each other down slides in a prone position on a mat.

Relaxing Water Experience

If you prefer a calm atmosphere, Pacific Wave or the lazy river is the right choice. Unlike a regular lazy river, here visitors will be taken around the waterpark area using tubes through a calm yet enjoyable water flow. Furthermore, there is the Carribean River, a lazy river that winds through various interesting sights within the waterpark.
