Abstract: The limited activity and mobility of children in accessing play spaces are some of the problems that occur during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through children's mobility and play activities, children's play environment could be assessed, as in the theory of the Bullerby model. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristic of children's play environment in Semarang City according to Bullerby model during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is based on the perceptions and preferences of children who live in Semarang City. A quantitative approach is used to analyse the research data by scoring the questionnaire. The results show that Semarang City has a prison-like and glasshouse-like play environment. This study also found that even in the suburbs with low building density, children could have a prison-like environment due to fewer activities and games realised, even though there are plenty of play spaces available in their environment.
