Tugu Ikan Mas
Three goldfish sculptures that are jumping are supported by a metal shape that resembles the shape of water, so that at a glance it looks like they are eating a bait. The sculpture can be seen when we head from Tegalega to the Buah Batu Bandung area or vice versa when passing Jl. BKR and come across a junction between Jl. BKR and Jl. Moch Ramdan. In the middle of the junction is a 20 x 15 meter park. In the middle of the park stood 3 fish statues made of wrought metal, on a pedestal made of cement covered with ceramics decorated with water installations and lights.
This sculpture was inaugurated in 1993 when the city of Bandung was led by Mayor Ateng Wahyudi. The location and fish figures were chosen because the area was previously known as a freshwater fish breeder. The area was previously a swamp. During the reign of Regent R.A.A Martanegara in 1983, the area was filled with soil and transformed into plains and then made into fish ponds.
Tiga patung ikan mas yang sedang meloncat ditopang bentukan berbahan logam yang meniru bentuk air sehingga sekilas terlihat seperti sedang memakan umpan. Patung ikan tersebut bisa kita temukan apabila kita bergerak dari arah Tegalega menuju daerah Buah Batu Bandung atau sebaliknya ketika akan melewati Jl. BKR dan menemukan pertigaan antara Jl BKR dan Jl Moch Ramdan. Di tengah pertigaan tersebut terdapat taman berukuran 20 x 15 meter. Di tengah taman tersebutlah berdiri 3 patung ikan berbahan logam tempa, di atas pedestal berbahan semen yang dilapisi keramik berhias instalasi air serta lampu.
Patung ini diresmikan pada tahun 1993 ketika Kota Bandung dipimpin oleh Wali Kota Ateng Wahyudi. Pemilihan lokasi dan figur ikan dikarenakan wilayah tersebut sebelumnya dikenal sebagai wilayah peternak ikan air tawar. Wilayah tersebut sebelumnya berbentuk rawa-rawa. Ketika masa pemerintahan Bupati R.A.A Martanegara di tahun 1983, wilayah tersebut ditimbun hingga menjadi daratan dan kemudian diolah menjadi kolam-kolam ikan.
