This park certainly has recreational activities in it, one of which is extreme sports such as skateboarding. However, this activity is considered to interfere with park visits, judging from the issues that say that skaters often damage public paving and planter facilities and also disrupt the circulation of park visitor activities. This is the background for the author to raise the issue as research material, with the aim of this study being to find out the perceptions and preferences of park visitors and skaters, so as to obtain solutions to overcome the problems of visitor comfort and skateboarding activities. The research method used is a survey method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and literature study.
