SIURA Studio-ebet Eco Park

In just 15 months, an aging public park with a degraded environment, disconnect accessibility, flooding issue, and social problems was transformed into a vibrant park embraced by the local community. Tebet Eco Park is a 7.3 hectare public park revitalization project located in Jakarta, Indonesia with a focuses on an active regeneration of the site’s ecology with tree conservation and enhancing the blue-green infrastructure. The ecological landscape design approach reduces the risk of flooding with river re-naturalization. The result of this new urban regeneration cultivates an inclusive environment that facilitates access to a wide offering of recreational activities in a natural setting.

The park was divided by a 714m open drain which was heavily polluted due to unfiltered water runoff from the upstream catchment. During high storm events, the park is frequently flooded as climate change drastically affects the unpredicted rainfall. A key strategy to ensuring the waterways are appropriately designed through a nature based system is to improve the hydraulic performance. The once highly polluted canal is now revitalized into an active waterway with a climate-adaptive approach. The ecologically restored river, planted with riparian vegetation, improves water quality by filtering and cleansing surrounding run-off and enhancing the site’s biodiversity. A wide and meandering waterway increases hydraulic capacity, provides a resilient floodplain, and brings the diverse native river ecosystem back to the park.

Over the 1500s existing trees were surveyed for the health and value assessment. The landscape design intervention is kept as minimal as possible, preserving the valuable trees while also sustaining the natural resources of the site. The excavated materials such as the pre existing canal's stones and felled trees log was reused and upcycled as part of the new park construction material and design elements. The unhealthy trees were either relocated to a new location or reused as part of the park’s furniture and playground elements.
