playfields
Where games happen
Playfields are designated areas for games and recreation—the grassy expanses of parks, the marked courts and fields of athletic facilities: The city built new playfields near the elementary school.
In video games, the playfield is the active game area where action occurs, distinct from menus or scoreboards.
The singular playfield appears in both contexts.
