Abstract

Playing is a right for children to hone and practice physical skills, creativity, personality, and to develop all aspects within themselves. The provision of play spaces is the responsibility of parents, the community, and the government. The provision of child-friendly play spaces (RBRA) based on the regulations issued by KemenPPPA (Ministry of Women^s Empowerment and Child Protection) is conducted indoors and outdoors, or in urban green open spaces (RTH). The quality of playgrounds in Medan City generally lacks playing facilities, is in damaged condition, does not meet standards, and is not child-friendly. This research aims to identify existing playgrounds in Medan City and make comparisons against the standards developed by KemenPPPA. Data collection is carried out through field survey approaches, literature studies, and analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The findings obtained indicate that playgrounds in Medan City have not yet met RBRA standard.
