Abstract: This paper aims to explore how children use limited playing area in a densely populated area in Bandung. Based on three weeks focused ethnography study, this paper attempts to see how the children utilize the playing area and to what extent the playing becomes gendered. The information was collected through participatory observation done by the first author. The information was then analysed using grounded theory. Using a postdevelopmentalism approach, findings of this study reveals that the playing area is segregated based on the children’s gender. Some playing are dominated by the boys, and most of the time the girls are excluded from the playing. It appears that the girls are imposed greater control that prevent them to engage in some playing. The finding calls need for the parents and caretakers to understand gender issues so that the girls will be given equal access and opportunities to playing.
