Parung (Sundanese:ᮕᮛᮥᮀ) is a town and an administrative district (kecamatan) in Indonesia that is located near the southwestern suburb of South Jakarta but officially still within the area of the Bogor Regency. Parung District covers an area of 25.86 km2, and had a population of 112,529 at the 2010 Census[2] and 123,078 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 128,905 - coprising 65,568 males and 63,337 females.[1] Those who travel from Jakarta to Bogor through the western alternative road will have to pass through Parung.
It has a traditional market called Pasar Parung as its commercial centre. The market is situated exactly on both sides of the main road which inevitably causes daily traffic congestion. Pasar Parung is marked by a huge tree which is called Pohon Jubleg by the locals. Jubleg means 'idle' and 'not going anywhere' in according to locals.[4] Locals often attributed mystical elements to the tree because of its old age.[5]
