Spaces for children to freely play in, such as fields and empty lots, have been diminishing due to urbanization. In this study, outdoor activities and nature experiences which remain in university students’ memories have been categorized, an d the activity areas have been identified. For the survey of outdoor activities, information of activity details and illustration of play areas were collected from 101 respondents. With regard to the survey of nature experiences, descriptions of nature experience and information on activity areas were collected from 70 respondents. Respondents themselves also participated in a workshop to categorize the nature experiences. The types of play area remaining in memories are in rather close proximity in everyday life as compared with locations such as large scaled parks. In particular, elementary schools (42%), parks (17%), and streets (13%) remained in university students’ memories. As for activity areas for nature experiences, nature land (31%) counted the highest figure, followed by parks (13%), neighborhoods (12%), elementary schools (11%), and fields (9%). It is important to consider areas which remain in university students’ memories even after ten years since their childhood. It is necessary to equip activity locations appropriately according to outdoor acti vities and nature experiences.
