Parung has a traditional market, Pasar Parung, as its commercial centre. It is situated on both sides of the main road, which causes daily traffic congestion. Pasar Parung features a very large tree called Pohon Jubleg by locals, according to whom Jubleg means 'idle' and 'not going anywhere'. Locals often attributed mystical elements to the tree because of its old age.
