Taman Tirtonadi is a landscaped riverside park located along the banks of the Pepe River in Surakarta. It serves as a multifunctional flood control facility integrated into a public recreation space. The park features elevated pedestrian walkways, tiered seating areas, and manicured gardens that connect the Gilingan area to the surrounding urban landscape. It was designed to revitalize the riverfront area, turning a previously flood-prone zone into an aesthetic community hub. The site includes a modern pedestrian bridge that offers elevated views of the river flow. Landscaping incorporates native greenery intended to stabilize the riverbank and reduce erosion. The park is part of a larger urban regeneration project aimed at improving the aesthetics and water management of Surakarta's river corridors.
