As urbanization process accelerates continuously, children’s outdoor activity space has been severely squeezed, and the contradictions have become increasingly prominent between their physical and mental development needs and the community environment. This paper takes gamified design as the core theoretical framework, combines child behavioral psychology and environmental perception theory, explores how to transform negative community space into empowering places to stimulate children’s creativity and social skills through participatory design, conducts an in-depth analysis of the problems in the current construction of child-friendly space, such as adult-oriented space design, poor physical safety, lack of natural elements, and absence of children’s engagement, and proposes a three-layer design framework of natural exploration, social gaming, and safety protection. Empirical research shows that gamified landscapes can increase the frequency of children’s outdoor activities and enhance intergenerational interaction in communities to provide innovative ideas and practice pathways for the promotion of child-friendly city construction.
