I don't like neither, and this is just my take.

#1 has a structural problem because it's not a compound, not causative, nor relative.

#2 "having fun and playing together" participle (adverbial) doesn't seem to properly connect to the "I hope" context.

How about:

I hope that we can be friends so (that) we can play and have fun together.
