Swimming, buying snack handicrafts, and eating "SATE" in Suranadi Park

Actually Suranadi park is located in near Narmada Park or Mayura Park. We can go there by car, it needs 15 minutes. More information, While you are driving a car, you can see people who selling seasonal fruit in street side, likes jack fruit, Duran, rapiah etc.




when you arrive there, at first, i suggest you, is swimming in Suranadi Pool. Based on native people there, this pool is used to King and Queen to swimming. So very lucky if you can try to swim there. i think the water is cool but comfort by our body, because it come from water of Rinjani mountain. If you don't want to swim, you can wash your face or take a shower in Shower Suranadi

The weather so cool, it make us hungry. actually after you finish swim. My suggest is you must try "Sate".
