ballparks
Where games happen
Ballparks are enclosed grounds where ball games—especially baseball—are played.
The word extends to rough estimates or ranges: Give me a ballpark figure.
Something in the ballpark is approximately correct or within acceptable limits: Your guess wasn't exact, but it was in the ballpark.
