Selecta Recreational Park
This landscaped park was established by the Dutch in 1930 and although very changed, it remains a charming place to visit outside of the school holiday seasons when it is overrun with children. Nice swimming pool. There are hot showers for Rp5,000, but no hot springs or hot pools. Opportunities for some guided walks and horse riding. There is a hotel and restaurant attached to the park.
Batu town square
A small park in the middle of Batu town, where locals regularly take walks and idle about. The newly re-worked Alun Alun is adorned with representations of pretty much all of Batu's specialities: apples, strawberries, milk-producing cows, rabbits, etc. as booths, lanterns and statues. There is also a decent-sized Ferris wheel with Rp5,000 entrance fee.
This is probably the single most attractive village in the area and a day or half day spent just wandering here will be time well spent. Don't get cheated, they sell some hot showers as "hot springs". There's also a notable Hindu temple dating from the Majapahit period in the 15th century.
