Play areas should be focal points within residential areas and should be connected to residential and other areas by simple networks of paths. They should not be pushed out on to the periphery but planned in connection with communication systems. Guidelines for planning playgrounds take into account the following data: age group, usable space per person, play area size, distance from dwellings, etc
When building housing, private outdoor playgrounds in the grounds of the housing complex should be provided for younger children up to the age of 6, for children from 6-12 and for adults. A basis for calculating the size of all public playgrounds can often be found in planning regulations. For example, 5m2 play area per housing unit, minimum size of playground 40 m2. Open spaces for play must be enclosed by a barrier at least 1 m high (dense hedge, fences, etc.) to protect them from roads, parked cars, railway lines deep water, precipices and other sources of danger.
