Children's park and playground is a public place available connoting a place needed for modern people. Children's playground can satisfy space occupancy only when it includes convenient facilities and playing facilities as interactive space between children and adults. For children, play is natural and the most important matter in life. Play provides various experience to children and through it, imagination and creativity are developed with physical, emotional, social growth. Playground creation is what matters since this kind of play takes place in it actively. Due to rapid social changes and economic changes, children have lost freedom to enjoy play. Children's lives have changed to lives of learning scheduled by adults' plans or those subject to it and they enjoy play inside house such as electronic or computer games rather than play outside. Likewise, it is our reality that learning is much more accentuated than desirable physical and spiritual development for modern children. To add, most playgrounds are composed of standardized playing facilities to meet formal and legal regulations solely, not being able to give children interest, as well as deterring desire of curiosity and exploration. Besides, there are frequent safety accidents in playgrounds not subdivided by age. This is how importance of outside playing is gradually weakening with the number of children playing in playground getting less and less. Children's play helps holistic development, facilitates perceptive and cognitive ability, also providing pleasure. Children at the age of 6~8 who are active in voluntary outside activities tend to improve ability to use perceptual motor function already acquired more technologically and overcome perceptual dependency and egocentrism in deciding objects also in perceptual aspect. Not to mention, there is a need for place for various kinds of activities since widening in the scope of children's activities expand to that of family, school and neighborhood, also in social environment. Thus, this study intends to examine developmental theories for children in designing playground, to confirm concepts and features of it, analyze configuration of playground and play facilities in creating playground to improve creativity, thereby understanding present condition of playground. It examines types and basic conditions of current playground design for practical playground design. Researcher could see that it is based on developmental play behavior and psychological theory of infants in planning playground environment design. As time has passed, there has been a need felt for a study and more accurate sample survey through changes in play behavior and body of children. And new standard must be provided because current standard of establishing playground I our country only meets formal and legal regulations. Finally, in designing playground, it was shown that play facilities and space suitable for play demand of children considering eye level and perspective of children, free from design plan of adults in designing playground.
