Abstract

Due to urbanization, the space available for children's activities in cities is shrinking, as urban environments are becoming more high density. An increasing number of parents and educators have noticed the importance of outdoor play in children's physical and mental development in recent years, as well as the importance of contact with the natural environment in developing children's environmental awareness. Thus, it has become a natural requirement of social development to design park environments that meet children's play and learning needs and support their multisensory development.This project is based on the functional concept of landscape, culture, and sports, in which children are the primary users of the space, while the shared use by parents, caregivers, and other citizens is also taken into consideration, in order to meet the growing demand for cultural and sports activities. The main objective of this design is to explore and apply a design solution that meets the needs of children's natural education activities through the integration of the concept of natural education into the design of a child friendly park. The aim is to create a multi functional park that integrates nature, culture, and sports, while providing children with a safe, interesting, and educational environment for growth.
