Bantul: Manunggal Children Playground
Few places in the Special Region of Yogyakarta have a history as closely tied to the rural hinterland of Yogyakarta as Bantul. The regency forms part of the urban area south of Yogyakarta and extends from settled lowlands toward the Indian Ocean, between the Progo and Opak rivers. Manunggal Children Playground represents the everyday civic side of this part of the regency: a publicly accessible space designed for children’s play. Bantul is also known for craft traditions, notably the pottery of Kasongan and leatherwork associated with Manding, while Yogyakarta’s courtly Javanese culture remains a defining influence across the region.
