This
recreational park is located at Jalan Rahadi Oesman, right in front of the
office of City Mayor of Pontianak. Alun Kapuas Park is a beautiful and
comfortable place to relax while enjoying the view of the Kapuas River and its
activities. It is a popular city park along the Kapuas River featuring
esplanades around a monumental central fountain (online souces)
When
in Alun Kapuas Park, we took local ferry cruising which cost 15,000 Rupiah per
person for around 40 minutes. The boat has 2 floors. You just go in the ferry
without buy any ticket. When the ferry departure, the staff will come to
collect money from you.
Many
local people like to take this local ferry cruising with family and children.
You also can order some food and drinks inside the ferry to enjoy it while see
the beautiful view.
During
cruising, I saw Jami Mosque or Masjid
Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman that is the oldest mosque which made by wood. It
looks very big.
The
Malay water village is so beautiful and I saw some houses have painted with
some art.
The
ferry cruise that I took in evening. Therefore, when back to park, the night
become dark and can enjoy the night view of Pontianak.
In
the park, can take picture with Upin & Ipin and Elsa (Frozen Princess). I
think children will love about it.
You
also can see a replica of equator monument at this park. The local people sure
very curious what I take picture with? Haha..

I like to take rides on the cruise ships, boats and ferry. It gives a relaxing feel. The houses on the waters look very neat and nice.
