The relevance of research of the formation of children's play spaces is determined by the gradual transformation from small areas with sand near schools to the first attempts at a design approach to arranging such territories using iron structures and organizing a play environment for children of different ages and physical capabilities. Wartime had a negative impact on the development of gaming spaces, which resulted in the destruction of all iron equipment in the gaming spaces. However, there are positive sides, this period contributed to the development of children's imagination and the creation of adventure themes for games - plots, scenarios, quests began at this time.
It is necessary to highlight the period after the war - "The era of novelty." When the playgrounds were traumatic and the equipment was poorly handled Much attention was paid to the safety of children in playgrounds and spaces.
A huge step forward was the architectural and design influence, which manifested itself in the form of various forms of iron - rockets, ships, slides, creative tunnels and other figures that were placed in the play spaces.
Americans were among the first to start creating entire theme parks (Oxland, California). A large number of artists built exhibits, frescoes, toys and sculptures in the park.
The formation of a new architectural and design space on playgrounds has turned into the creation of whole theme parks and amusement parks.
Special attention should also be paid to the transformation of children's playgrounds into family play spaces, where both parents and children were equally involved in the game process. This influenced the perception of children, their attitude towards parents and had a positive result in understanding the unity of the family.
Each period of time XVIII-XX can be designated by different stages: social, economic, cultural and security stage. They were also due to political relationships between countries (war) and within countries. Thus, we can say that even unfavorable conditions in the country can have a positive effect on the development of children of different ages thanks to the play environment and adapted spaces for this pastime.
