Taking the "Children Friendly City" community as the background and the "Children's Perspective" as an auxiliary tool, through the investigation and research of community game spaces in Liupanshui City, we have learned about the stereotyped adult infrastructure in the community and the reality of the lack of children's space. We have found that the layout of community game spaces is unreasonable, the community game spaces do not take into account the needs of children, the facilities are single, and lack of interest the lack of openness in community children's play space and the lack of children's safe play needs in community play space. It also puts forward feasible suggestions on reasonable layout, creating diverse play styles for children, promoting their physical and mental health development, providing children with interesting community play space, and paying attention to safety issues.
