Orphan’s Playground

Playgrounds often also have facilities for playing informal games of adult sports, such as a baseball diamond, a skating arena, a basketball court, or a tether ball.

Public playground equipment refers to equipment intended for use in the play areas of parks, schools, childcare facilities, institutions, multiple family dwellings, restaurants, resorts, and recreational developments, and other areas of public use.

In some parts of the United States, the term tot lot may be used.[1]

A type of playground called a playscape is designed to provide a safe environment for play in a natural setting.
