Children enjoy playing and prefer to be outside. Plays are children's everyday lives and experiences. Ecological playground is defined as the play spaces composed of natural elements such as water, sand, trees, grasses, logs, boulders and etc. Parent and children want more opportunities to play safely close to where they live. However eco-friendly playgrounds for children are lacked in urban area and parent wants to create successful ecological play spaces. The number of small and irregular pieces of land is 1,119 sites over the nation including Seoul and other large cities, and the areas of the lands are 1,451.684.2m2(439,134.5 Pyeong). This area is nearly corresponded to 203 times of football fields. In several cities, so-called pocket park and backyard vegetable plots were created as an ecological park. This guideline suggests the principles for creating imaginative, innovative and stimulating ecological play spaces that will enrich the lives of children.
