- Abstract- Public spaces hold an important role in a neighborhood or a city. As a communal space, these spaces need to be integrated with the masterplan of the city itself. Unfortunately, architects and city planners often forget that the subject that needs this space type is not only the adults. Children also need space for their growth and development. The early human development or better known as the childhood phase is also very important. Children learning process needs to be contained with good public space design that includes playgrounds and stimulating materials. As a public space, children should also have fun exploring and experiencing interaction or play while enjoying the space itself.
