Abstract : The rapid urban development of Jakarta has led to significant changes in people's lifestyles. The pressures of city living result in reduced outdoor activities. This, in turn, has negatively impacted mental health, with depression rates steadily rising. The Central Statistics Agency reported a significant increase in the prevalence of depression in Indonesia from 6.2% in 2018 to 13.6% in 2023. Jakarta has a higher prevalence of depressive disorders compared to the rest of the country, with 8.5% of its population affected. Recent studies have demonstrated a strong link between green spaces and improved physical and mental health. Green Open Spaces like Tebet Eco Park, located in South Jakarta, hold great potential to serve as a "therapy tool" for mental health. This research aims to explore this potential through a qualitative case study with a case study design. It seeks answers to: Do the park's design and facilities address mental health needs?, what specific elements of green spaces influence mental recovery?, what untapped potentials or weaknesses exist in Tebet Eco Park?, how can the park be improved to enhance mental well-being? The results of the study show that in general, the surrounding community has a positive perception of Tebet Eco Park. However, improvements are needed so that this park can be an effective mental health recovery place for visitors.
