Taman Bekapai is a small central park that has become one of Balikpapan's easy evening landmarks. Its fountain and oil-themed metal installation nod to the industry that shaped the city, and after dark the lights make it livelier than its modest size suggests.
This is not a destination to cross Kalimantan for, but it is a useful stop if you are staying in the centre and want a walk, a snack, or a quick feel for local street life. Pair it with nearby food streets rather than treating it as a standalone attraction.
