Scientia Square Park

Evolution from Green Space to Community Hub

Scientia Square Park didn't just appear as a playground. Its development history is rooted in the vision of creating an environmentally conscious and sustainable residence. Since its opening to the public, SQP has continuously evolved following urban community lifestyle trends. While initially focusing only on open fields and a few sports facilities, the park has now transformed into a complex recreational ecosystem, harmoniously integrating animal interaction, extreme sports, and urban farming within one area.

Animal Interaction and Unique Experiences

One of the main attractions that distinguishes Scientia Square Park from other city parks is the presence of various unique animal collections that visitors can interact with directly. The "The Metamorphosis of Butterfly" experience allows visitors to observe the butterfly life cycle inside a lush, giant enclosure.

However, the most sought-after stars right now are the Alpacas and Mini Donkeys. Visitors can not only see them from behind fences but also feed and take photos with these animals, which are usually only found abroad. Additionally, there is the Rabbitopia area where children can play with dozens of rabbits let loose, and the Koi Farm for a serene feeding experience in a tranquil pond. For exotic animal lovers, the Teepee Da Tapir and Owl House areas offer in-depth education about the characteristics of these nocturnal animals and unique mammals.

A Haven for Extreme Sports and Physical Activities

For those seeking physical challenges, Scientia Square Park provides very capable facilities. The Velocity Skatepark has become an icon for the skateboarding and rollerblading community in Tangerang. With a track design that meets international standards, this place often becomes a venue for competitions and a learning ground for beginners.

Besides the skatepark, there is a challenging Wall Climbing facility. This climbing wall is available in various difficulty levels, making it safe for children yet still challenging for adults. Not to be missed, the Jogging Track encircling the park offers refreshing green views for residents wanting to exercise in the morning or afternoon. The presence of a Remote Control (RC) Track also serves as a unique platform for remote-controlled car enthusiasts to pursue their hobby on a professional track.

Family-Friendly Features and Educational Facilities

As a family destination, SQP is designed with the comfort of all ages in mind. O' Splash is a water play area that is very popular among children, where they can play safely under parental supervision. There is also Mini Riding, where children can experience riding ponies with experienced guides.

The educational aspect is strengthened through the Paddy Field attraction. Here, children accustomed to urban environments can learn how to plant rice and understand the simple farming process. This activity provides a new perspective on where their food comes from, while also fostering a love for nature from an early age.

Cultural Significance and Role in the Community

Scientia Square Park has transcended its function as a tourist spot. Culturally, the park serves as a "third space"—a place where individuals from various social backgrounds gather and interact outside their homes and offices. The existence of SQP strengthens Gading Serpong's identity as a progressive area that also maintains ecological balance.

The park also serves as a hub for active community events. From morning yoga classes, photography workshops, to culinary festivals and music concerts, these are often held in the Universe Amphitheatre area. This open stage with grass tiers creates a warm communal atmosphere, where visitors can enjoy performances while relaxing on the grass under the Tangerang sky.

Visitor Information and Best Time to Visit

Scientia Square Park is located on Jalan Scientia Boulevard, Gading Serpong, Tangerang. Its location is very strategic and easily accessible by private vehicle or public transportation such as Summarecon's internal bus or online transportation.

The best times to visit the park are in the morning (07:00 - 10:00 AM) or afternoon (after 3:30 PM). In the morning, the air is still very fresh and the sun is not too harsh, making it suitable for physical activities. Meanwhile, the afternoon offers beautiful sunset views against the silhouette of tall buildings, creating a romantic and tranquil atmosphere for relaxation.

For the maximum experience, it is recommended to visit on weekdays to avoid crowds that usually peak on weekends or national holidays. Visitors are advised to wear comfortable clothing for outdoor activities, bring a hat, and don't forget to bring their own water bottle to support the environmentally friendly movement promoted by the park management.

Scientia Square Park is a testament that professionally managed green open spaces can be a center of happiness for city dwellers. With a blend of nature, animals, sports, and education, this place is not just a short holiday destination, but an important part of the quality of life for the community in Tangerang and its surroundings.
