The superior area arrangement on Jalan Kesatrian X, RT 11/03, Kebon Manggis Urban Village, Matraman Sub-district, East Jakarta, finally completed. The previously neglected land along the Ciliwung Lama Riverbank has now been transformed into a neat and attractive green park.
Hopefully, this action can continue sustainably
Kebon Manggis Urban Village Head, Fera Riana Sari said, the location was chosen, as it has been a neglected area that could potentially give a rundown impression if not properly organized.
"It has been underway since October 2025 and involves seven personnel of PPSU," he expressed, Wesdnesday (12/10).
Kebon Manggis Urban Village Economic and Development Section Head, Mas'udah added, the layout concept adopts the theme "Relief and Vertical Garden." Hence, the area is completed with wooden ornaments and planted with various types of ornamental plants, family medicinal plants (TOGA), and vegetables.
"The arranged land area is approximately 30 square meters. The types of plants grown include tomatoes, terung, lidah mertua, and Miyana Merah," he explained.
Aside that, it's also inexpensive to have it made on-site with a variety of interesting images, such as camels, dogs, giraffes, elephants, and trees.
"The stairs and bridge are also painted in bright colors to enhance the aesthetics of the arranged area," he explained.
This work received appreciation from LMK Member, RW 04, Kebon Manggis Ueban Village, Rudi Hartono.
"Hopefully, this action can continue sustainably so that residents can utilize it for water tourism," he said.
