Children?s leisure activities in parks have attracted increasing scholarly interest in recent decades. However, relatively little attention has been given to the emotional needs and responses of children to their activities within a park?s play spaces. Moreover, what parents perceive, and how they themselves engage within children?s playing spaces, is under-studied. Drawing on fieldwork carried out in the Guangzhou Children?s Park, China, this paper aims to explore the experiences of both children and parents within this particular playing space. Supplementing participant observations with interviews and analysis of reviews on the Internet, the paper finds that children obtain a sense of family and company from their parents? presence, and parents recall memories of their own childhood and obtain emotional recovery by visiting parks with their children. The findings suggest that play spaces are not only places where children play, but also where family life and childhood are ?built?. The paper contributes to the existing literature by highlighting and examining the ?child?parent? relationship within playing spaces. By conducting a case study of a non-Western society, the paper encourages researchers to examine ?child?parent? relationships in a family leisure context, and to explore the everyday and emotional geographies of family life in contemporary China.
