The Green Open Space in Bekasi City Center has the names Taman Bekasi and Taman Juanda. Taman Bekasi has an area of 3000 m2 and Juanda Park has an area of 2000 m2. The two places are located next to each other, surrounded by a highway that has a width of 8 meters with several functions located across the street from Bekasi Park and Juanda Park.

Community activities conducted in Bekasi City Park are to do sports individually or in groups performed at the end of pecans. On weekdays, activities in Bekasi city park are used for waiting area during lunch break because around the park is an office building. Taking a break or taking a moment in the park requires a place to sit, where there is a park bench. The cool garden condition with preserved perdu plants makes this garden as an option for people to visit it on weekdays or weekends (figure 1).

Conclusions and suggestions
Based on the comparison that has been done between Bekasi City Park and Juanda Park, it can be described several things: between the two parks have similarities and differences. The equation lies in the initial function, which is equally as the water receding of Bekasi City; both have a flat/uncon contoured form of land; both have gates, both surrounded by road paths. In addition to the similarities, there are significant differences, namely Taman Kota Bekasi can be called an active park because it is used by the public on weekdays or holidays, because it has complete facilities such as jogging track, function room, park bench, garden lights, manicured plants. Meanwhile, Juanda Park can be said to be an active park with a pattern of planned activities, such as ceremonies, football training activities from a particular club. Another striking difference is that the pedestrian network outside Juanda Park is filled with street vendors, giving the impression of being poorly planned and poorly maintained.
Taman Kota Bekasi has qualified as a City Park that can be accessed by all community groups, while Taman Juanda has not been maximal use as a City Park. It can then be recommended to the local government to complete juanda city park facilities, so that it can be more useful for the community as an active park.
