GPI Water Park provides various attractions, such as speed slide, body slide, pools, fun boomerang, and flying fox. There are also bathrooms, cafeteria, musala, locker rooms, and merchants. All the facilities are in the wide and tidy area.

Nadlirin from the Departement of Culture and Tourism of Kabupaten Kediri told that Monument of Kediri is a low-budget travel destination that has various visitors, both local and from out of this town. The visitors do not need to pay admission to enter this place, except they want to go to the water park.

“According to the data, the visitors in 2013 is 328.420; in addition, there are 455.771 in 2014.”

To increase the visitors, the government would make a better service, including the facilities. In 2015, the government gave Rp. 1.2 billion from the budget to build a train monument on the west side of the monument.

This new monument is a playground and public area concept without leaving the identity of Kediri that is a town full of sugar factories, even though there are not as many as before.

“From the history, during the Holland imperialism in Indonesia, Kediri had many sugar factories. Moreover, Kediri was called Land with 1000 Sugar Factories. This historical value will be preserved from this tourism concept. ”Nadlirin said.  

So do not forget to put Monument of Kediri on your weekend list. Happy holiday.
