The rapid development of urban areas often leads to a reduction in green open spaces (GOS), even though their existence is essential for maintaining ecological balance, social functions, and the quality of life of urban communities. This study aims to examine the potential utilization of the Green Open Space of Alit Saputra Field in Tabanan Regency as an urban tourism attraction based on sustainable tourism principles. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, documentation studies, and analysis of policies related to spatial planning and tourism development. The findings indicate that Alit Saputra Field serves ecological functions as an urban green lung, social functions as a public interaction space, and economic functions through tourism activities and local micro-enterprises. The availability of public facilities, green areas, performance stages, children’s playgrounds, and sports tracks supports the development of an inclusive and environmentally friendly urban tourism concept. Furthermore, the implementation of local values of Tri Hita Karana strengthens sustainability principles by harmonizing the relationship between humans and God (parahyangan), among humans (pawongan), and with the environment (palemahan). With planned and participatory management, Alit Saputra Field has the potential to become a model for the development of green open spaces as sustainable urban tourism destinations in Tabanan Regency.
