The park was constructed as part of a river revitalization project aimed at improving the urban water management of the Cikapundung River.
The wooden decking used throughout the park is made from treated materials designed to withstand periodic flooding from the river.
The park's design intentionally incorporates terraced levels to stabilize the riverbanks and prevent soil erosion.
It is managed as a communal public space, distinct from the traditional central town square model (alun-alun) typically found in Javanese cities.
Alun-Alun Regol is an urban green space built along the banks of the Cikapundung River in the Regol district of Bandung. The park is designed with a linear layout that prioritizes pedestrian pathways, wooden decks, and terraced seating areas overlooking the water. It features a prominent wooden bridge that spans the river, connecting different sections of the park. The grounds are heavily landscaped with mature trees and native vegetation to provide shade for visitors. Modern amenities include public toilets, a small amphitheater for community activities, and a dedicated children's play area. The park serves as a flood mitigation zone, integrating drainage infrastructure with aesthetic park features. It functions as a community hub for local residents, particularly for morning exercise and evening social gatherings.

Bring insect repellent as the river-side location can attract mosquitoes, especially during humid evenings.
Carry your own trash out, as public bins can occasionally overflow during peak weekend periods.
The wooden surfaces can become slippery after rain; wear appropriate footwear with good grip.
Do not attempt to swim in or enter the river, as water quality and current strength can be hazardous.
Maintain a modest dress code consistent with public family spaces in Bandung; refrain from littering; noise levels should remain respectful of local residents.
