The park is officially part of a Subak, a UNESCO-recognized Balinese cooperative water management system for rice cultivation.
It is managed by the local community specifically to prevent urban development from overtaking the remaining agricultural land in Denpasar.
The irrigation channels seen throughout the park are fed by historical water canals diverted from local rivers.
The area serves as an experimental site for organic farming techniques to teach local students and visitors about traditional crop rotation.
The park layout incorporates paths specifically designed to act as flood mitigation channels for the surrounding neighborhood.
Ekowisata Subak Sembung Peguyangan is an urban agricultural park that integrates traditional Balinese Subak irrigation systems with recreational green space. The park preserves active rice paddies within the northern Denpasar urban sprawl, serving as both a working farm and a public leisure area. Visitors can walk along elevated wooden boardwalks and paved paths that loop through the paddy fields and tropical vegetation. The site functions as a community-managed project focusing on sustainable farming practices and local education. It features areas for jogging and cycling, designed to provide a natural buffer against the surrounding city traffic. Several small gazebos are scattered throughout the site for rest and observation of the agricultural landscape. The park is characterized by its quiet, rural atmosphere despite being located in a densely populated suburban district.
The raised wooden walkway that provides a panoramic vantage point over the center of the rice paddies.
Bring mosquito repellent, as the combination of standing water in rice paddies and vegetation attracts insects.
Visit during the early stages of the rice growing cycle to see the paddies flooded, or near harvest time to see the golden stalks.
Stay on the designated boardwalks and paths to avoid damaging the crops and to remain clear of irrigation mud.
Avoid visiting immediately after heavy rain, as the paths and boardwalks can become slippery and muddy.
Respect farmers working in the fields by keeping noise levels low and not walking through active planting areas.
