The park was established by the Bogor City Government specifically to provide a designated space for graffiti artists to channel their creativity legally.
The name 'Corat Coret' literally translates to 'doodling' or 'scribbling' in Indonesian.
The murals are periodically painted over or updated, ensuring the park's visual identity remains in a state of constant flux.
It was inaugurated as part of a municipal urban renewal effort to reduce unauthorized graffiti on public buildings in other parts of Bogor.
Taman Corat Coret is an urban public park in Bogor specifically designed as a legal canvas for local street artists.
