This study aims to assess the existing conditions of Lumintang City Park in terms of hardscape, softscape, social, cultural, and economic aspects, and to evaluate visitors’ perceptions of it as a therapeutic garden based on physical, quality, spatial, vegetation, paving, water elements, and psychological parameters. Conducted at Lumintang City Park, Denpasar, Bali (27,220 m²) from July 2024 to August 2025, the research used a quantitative descriptive survey method. Data were gathered through observation, Likert-scale questionnaires, and literature studies, with a sample of 97 visitors aged 15 and older. Results revealed an average perception score of 3.72 ("Agree"), confirming the park’s effectiveness as a therapeutic medium.
