playlands
Children's recreation areas
Playlands are amusement parks or recreational areas designed for entertainment, especially for children.
The word evokes a place devoted entirely to play—somewhere with rides, games, or playground equipment: The kids spent the afternoon at the playland.
Some fast-food restaurants use the term for their indoor play areas.
