History

Main article: Pulomas Racecourse

The original Pulomas Equestrian Park was inaugurated by then Jakarta Governor Ali Sadikin on 21 April 1970, before fully operational a year later. ^[6] The construction involved investments from Australia. ^[7] The venue saw its golden years in the 1990s, but later lost its prominence in the late 2000s and some of the aminities had left abandoned since the venue was submerged by the annual flood, especially in 2007. ^{[8] [9]}

In mid-2016, the racecourse was closed for revitalization as Jakarta was about to co-host the 2018 Asian Games with Palembang. It first drew criticims over the demolition and relocation of the surrounding settlements, many of whom were equestrian athletes. ^{[10] [11]} Revitalization took place from March until November 2017. ^[3] On 2 August 2018, then Governor Anies Baswedan inaugurated the new racecourse under the name "Jakarta Interntional Equestrian Park" ahead of the games' equestrian events. ^[2]
