Stress has become a part of urban life. Various activities can be done to reduce it, including exercising and doing recreation. Developing cities such as Karawang are trying to develop programs to reduce the stress conditions of their residents through the Healthy Community Movement (GERMAS). The provision of recreational sports facilities is an integral part of efforts to reduce stress. In contrast to sports that are competitive and educational in nature, recreational sports are types of sports that can provide joy by nourishing the body physically and emotionally, and can be done in spare time. Recreational sports facilities become areas for stress therapy by developing a multi-sensory experience for their users. The human senses are stimulated by the elements and landscape materials found in the sports area. With the "Therapeutic Design" approach expected to have a healthier lifestyle. Considering that the design location is in the center of Karawang city, this design area functions as a sports and recreation facility with a variety of sports rooms that can be selected according to the needs and desires of users later.

The design criteria include therapeutic elements in the design which are divided into safety and comfort which are defined as universal accessibility and circulation, space programs are defined as a diversity of facilities, sustainability is defined as the use of easy-to-maintain and durable materials and vegetation.
