JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government through the DKI Jakarta City Parks and Forest Service built ten parks in three areas in 2024. "DKI built as many as 10 parks this year. The parks were built in three different areas with varying areas," said Head of the Planning Section of the DKI Jakarta Parks and Forests Service (Distamhut) Hendrianto in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Saturday, February 3. The construction of these parks is an effort to bring the City of Jakarta which is increasingly sustainable. One of them is through the addition of Green Open Space (RTH). In addition, the construction of these parks is in accordance with DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation (Pergub) Number 9 of 2022 concerning the Implementation of Green Open Spaces which includes activities to improve quality, quantity and area, arrangement, development and utilization of green open spaces.

Hendri said the addition of green open spaces in Jakarta by increasing parks was a step to anticipate climate change, global warming, overcome pollution in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek), including adding water catchment areas. "Not only as a balancer of urban ecosystems, the existence of parks can also be a place or interaction room for the surrounding community," said Hendri. The parks to be built during 2024, said Hendri, are equipped with children's play areas, sports facilities, jogging tracks, multipurpose buildings, retention ponds, toilets and others. "Now the procurement document stage is targeted for construction starting in the second quarter," said Hendri.
