"Played" has one syllable. The ending "-ed" has no vowel (even though it is written with one), so it does not add a syllable to "play". In words ending in "t" or "d", a vowel is added before this ending, so in those cases, you do wind up with an extra syllable.
There are 2 syllables in the word "play-ground."
Playing has two syllables. The syllables are play-ing.
