Scenes After the Demolition of the Old Parangtritis TPR

The Bantul Regency Tourism Office (Dispar) says the demolition of the old Parangtritis retribution collection point (TPR) has been completed, and motor vehicles can pass along the road where the old TPR once stood. Istiyani, head of the Destinational Tourism Development section at Dispar Bantul, told detikJogja on Wednesday, 20 May 2026, that the demolition was finished last night. He noted that the remaining tasks are to remove the bathroom facilities and excavate the road to repair the asphalt. Traffic diversion into Parangtritis is no longer being applied. “The main road is now passable in both directions, so it is safe,” he said. Saryadi, head of Dispar Bantul, indicated that paving is likely to begin next week, given that a building in the middle of the road had damaged the asphalt. “All that remains is paving over the site of the demolition; likely to commence next week,” he added. Earlier reports indicated that the old Parangtritis TPR on Jalan Parangtritis was demolished on Tuesday (19 May) because the building lay on a provincial road. During the demolition, access to Parangtritis was diverted via Pantai Depok. “Yes, around nine o’clock this morning the demolition process for the old Parangtritis TPR began,” said Adyatama Kepariwisataan dan Ekonomi Kreatif, Dinas Pariwisata (Dispar) Bantul, Markus Purnomo Adi, when contacted by reporters yesterday. The demolition used heavy equipment such as an excavator and lasted only one day, with the barriers at the old TPR being dismantled as part of the process.
