Redesain Taman Rekreasi Kota Malang Berbasis Taman Bermain Anak

Abstract

A city park is an open space in an urban area that functions as a balance between nature and greenery and
human activities, such as recreation or a place to rest from daily activities. This condition requires a garden
design that provides comfort, so it needs vegetation and other facilities supporting street furniture. Open
space in public facilities is called public open space and includes green open space (RTH). The function of
RTH is to improve the quality of life of urban communities, encourage the creation of public space activities
for the community, add aesthetic value to urban areas, create a comfortable atmosphere for pedestrians,
and so on. The focus of the study in this research is on the City Recreation Park (tarekot), which is located in
the center of Malang city, not far from Tugu square. The condition of the park, in general, has not undergone
much development, so there has been no increase in the number of visitors. The problem is the pattern of
less functional space for visitors (especially children), the lack of a level of security because this park is
located beside a river, there is no division of games based on age. A garden will be safe and comfortable for
the broader community if facilities are provided for children to play in the playground. This research limits the
provision of facilities for children. The research method used is a design method with a thinking approach
from Gold (1980), Hakim (2012), and Setyabudi (2016). The results of this study are the results of a proposed
redesign with the concept of a children’s playground.
