The purpose of this study is to clarify the actual situation in a highly aged suburban single-family residential area, focusing on daily life (especially extracurricular activities) and play, after ascertaining the evaluation by parents and children themselves of child-rearing and the children's environment in that residential area. From the results of a questionnaire survey conducted on elementary school students and their parents, we clarfied that children play in large parks and that there are unused parks in the district. This study also found that many children are taking extracurricular activities, but the locations of the activities are not only in residential areas but are located in the city and beyond, and most of the parents drive their children to and from the places.
