Madukoro Park is an urban recreational space situated along the Banjir Kanal Barat river in Semarang. It serves as a landscaped green corridor designed for flood mitigation and public leisure. The area features paved walkways, mature trees, and direct access to the riverbank promenade. It is frequently utilized by local residents for morning exercise and evening social gatherings. The park is integrated into the city's western urban layout, providing a transition between the dense residential areas of Semarang Barat and the river system. Maintenance of the vegetation and pedestrian paths is managed by the local municipal authorities. It functions primarily as a communal outdoor space rather than a highly developed tourist attraction.
