This research aims to see and discover the important role of prayer garden (Taman Doa) in presenting an open space for urban communities to contemplate, meditate, breathe fresh air, and pray. In the context of fast-paced and instantaneous urban life, filled with consumerism, and high life pressure, "Taman Doa" becomes an open space that brings inner peace to people who are in the midst of difficulties and busy work. This research involves observations and interviews to understand how urban communities perceive "Taman Doa" as a place to contemplate, pray, and seek tranquility. The results of this study reveal that urban communities feel that "Prayer Gardens" have a very significant and urgent role in helping them harmonize their busy work lives with their spirituality and religious dimensions. In the "Prayer Garden", they feel they have a place to communicate with the Divine, reflect on the values of life, and feel a sense of serenity that is difficult to find in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city. The implication of this research is that the "Prayer Garden" is not only a physical element in the urban environment that promises tranquility and warmth, but also an oasis that helps urban people maintain their life balance and seek peace in life due to work pressure. This research provides a deeper understanding of how valuable "Prayer Garden" are in the context of an urban society that is constantly moving forward.
