Abstract

The article focuses on the design of children’s playgrounds in urban communities. The study points out that urbanization has led to “nature-deficit disorder” among children and the squeezing of playgrounds. This study elaborates on the origin of natural education thoughts both at home and abroad and analyzes the numerous problems faced by domestic children due to the lack of playgrounds, the “learning-only theory”, and so on. Through research, the author puts forward renovation ideas from various aspects such as preserving natural landforms, planning the site, designing traffic flow lines, selecting pavement materials, and configuring plant landscapes, aiming to create an exclusive space that conforms to natural education and helps children grow up healthily.
