  • West Java plans to improve and reorganize Gasibu to make the public space safer and more comfortable.
  • Officials will repair the running track and focus mainly on existing facilities rather than building major new infrastructure.
  • Work is expected to continue until early 2027, with the government inviting public feedback.

The running track at Bandung’s Gasibu public space needs repair because its poor condition could cause people to slip or suffer injuries, West Java Regional Secretary Herman Suryatman said.

The running track must be repaired because it is a public facility and public space.

— Herman SuryatmanThe West Java regional secretary explained why improving Gasibu’s track is part of the project.

Gasibu is widely used by people in West Java for exercise and other activities. Suryatman said the reorganization aims to improve public comfort and safety, while also giving attention to the area’s appearance and existing natural and built landscape.

The government does not plan to direct the project toward major new facilities. Instead, it will concentrate on repairing and arranging what is already there. Suryatman said the finished area should be much better than before and asked residents to give the government time to complete the work.

We must not allow a poor track to cause an accident, such as a sprain.

— Herman SuryatmanHe warned that the track’s condition could endanger users.

The process is expected to continue until early 2027, in line with the project’s stages and applicable rules. Officials also said residents can submit criticism and suggestions during or after the work if they find shortcomings.

God willing, conditions will be much better than before. Therefore, we ask the public to give us the opportunity to finish.

— Herman SuryatmanHe asked residents to allow the government to complete the reorganization.
