Abstract

Jatibening Permai Park is an active green open space that requires treatment due to a decrease in the physical condition and additional facilities for the elderly age group. The purpose of this community service is to optimize the park as an active green open space that supports the social interaction activities of residents in the social life of the Jatibening Permai Housing. The method used was field observation and interviews. Community service activities carried out included facility maintenance activities, field area cleaning, painting benches and children's play equipments, planting of Ornamental Sweet Potato Vine (Ipomoea batatas margarita), and built a reflection path for health therapy activities. After monitoring for three months, it was found that the social activities of the residents increased, including the use of park facilities for sports, playing, recreation, socialization, and economic activities.
