This condition requires a gardendesign that provides comfort, so it needs vegetation and other facilities supporting street furniture. Openspace in public facilities is called public open space and includes green open space (RTH). The function ofRTH is to improve the quality of life of urban communities, encourage the creation of public space activitiesfor 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 inthe center of Malang city, not far from Tugu square. The condition of the park, in general, has not undergonemuch development, so there has been no increase in the number of visitors. The problem is the pattern ofless functional space for visitors (especially children), the lack of a level of security because this park islocated beside a river, there is no division of games based on age. A garden will be safe and comfortable forthe broader community if facilities are provided for children to play in the playground. This research limits theprovision of facilities for children.
