“…Some apparent features of playgrounds such as natural [14] and unique elements and gardens and special spaces [15] have been considered as stimuli for increasing children activity. Human-designed playgrounds (without vegetation) encourage children to understand and discover the complexities within, while in natural spaces, children mostly on fantasy games and social activities [4].…”

Playground is effective on behavior of children; however, the severity of this effect and its variety in different playgrounds is still unclear. Identifying the playing area, reviewing local observations, evaluating interactions and their extent, and analyzing the level of communication between children can lead to correct ranking of playgrounds. Features of playground and the created space along with vegetation and plants are effective factors in attracting children and encouraging them to increase interactions. Various features of playground can determine the extent to which a child participates in social interactions. These features, along with other environmental factors, allow the development of social behaviors for children. Therefore, playgrounds must have potential facilities and capabilities for influencing children to provide high quality. This study will analyze the Pasdaran Park playground using quantitative method and distributing questionnaires. Field study is required to obtain the results. To this end, a questionnaire containing 18 questions was developed using parameters and factors previously defined and scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Fifty park visitors were questioned. According to the results, the most important factors, which can increase satisfaction and meet visitor needs include providing new access routes and improving the existing ones, increasing children interactions in green spaces, using vegetation in the environment, improving the environment according to the needs of users. The results of this study can be used as guideline for designing and developing this space and similar spaces.

“…Shim, Herwig, and Shelly [6] have observed and recorded several relatively low spatial development environments compared to ordinary space, and found that younger children play more diverse games in outdoor activities, such as role-playing games. Hartle's [7] study shows that children's outdoor activity spaces are more likely to inspire innovation. Children's game behaviors in outdoor activity space can be studied from two aspects: on the one hand, the differences of children's game behaviors in different types of game space can be compared; on the other hand, the performance of children's interaction with various amusement facilities and the characteristics of the site itself can be analyzed [8].…”

Based on the definition of children's outdoor activities in residential areas, the relationship between residential areas and children's outdoor activities and the significance of outdoor activities to children are summarized. Problem-oriented, it clarifies the deficiencies in children's outdoor activity space design at the present stage, and reconsiders their real needs for outdoor activity space from the perspective of children. This paper summarizes the relevant theoretical research on the outdoor activity space of children in residential areas at present, and analyzes the design methods from the perspectives of site design, green design, recreation and architectural sketch design, in order to provide useful enlightenment and guidance for relevant theoretical research and design practice. Keywords-residential area; children; outdoor activities; space designI.With the renewal and iteration of urban residential areas, the spatial pattern of children's outdoor activities in traditional residential areas should be innovative and developed. As the main body of the city, the residential area should not only satisfy people's most basic living needs, but should also pay attention to diversified development.

“…Also, the symbolic play themes enacted outdoors varied according to the play area or equipment that was selected for symbolic play. In this line of research, Hartle ( ,1996 . This line of research indicates that outdoor playgrounds can stimulate as much or more social play as indoor environments (Frost, 1986), and may be especially beneficial for some types of children .…”

“…For example, on the outdoor playground there were more low-realism play materials (e.g., an empty house, tree, jungle gym), while the classrooms tended to have high-realism materials and equipment (e.g., trucks, dolls, tea set). The low-realism materials may encourage children to engage in more social interaction with peers in social pretend play (Berk & Winsier, 1995;Fromberg, 1990Hartle, 1996;McLoyd, 1983;McLoyd, Thomas, & Warren, 1984). indicated that children felt freer to explore the world around them and to transform the real world into the fantasy world that met their imaginative needs and interests on the outdoor playground.…”
