This park measures one square kilometer and features a 433 foot tall monument erected during Sukarno's presidency. It's topped with a flame coated by 35 kilos of gold to signify the "people's determination for freedom." A pamphlet from my hotel describes it as "inspired tastelessness."
At the base is the National Museum, which I didn't enter due to the long wait in line. It's hot here, close to 90 degrees and humid and standing in this cement square didn't help matters.
