First, it is likely a SWMF for the neighborhood. During a storm event the water level will likely rise somewhere around 2m. It would be somewhat challenging to design a urban landscape around it with hard surfaces that would accommodate such a rapidly fluctuating water level.
It very likely a component of the environmental focus of the neighborhood too. All of the vegetation that surrounds it will help clarify and clean the water before it is released into the storm system downstream and ultimately the river.
