Jalur Hijau Kosambi Baru is a repurposed green corridor located in the Duri Kosambi residential area of West Jakarta. The park serves as a community-led urban reclamation project that transformed a former canal side into a public leisure space. It features paved pedestrian paths shaded by mature canopy trees, creating a long, narrow strip of greenery amidst dense residential housing. The park is equipped with seating areas and basic outdoor fitness equipment. Local residents frequently utilize the space for morning exercise, jogging, and communal gatherings. As of mid-2026, the park remains a functional public asset maintained through local community efforts. It acts as a primary outdoor recreation site for the surrounding Duri Kosambi neighborhoods.
