The swimming complex is closed when it rains. Call 62939058 in advance to ask if they are open. This saves you 10 minutes in case it is closed as a precaution for lightning strikes.

For those who wants to use static stations at a fitness corner for exercises like pull-ups, a fitness corner can be found at the third level open spaces between blocks 807 and 806 across the Jalan Besar Stadium.
