playscape
Outdoor play structure
A playscape is an outdoor play area, typically for children, featuring structures like climbing equipment, slides, and platforms.
The term emphasizes designed landscapes for play rather than traditional playground equipment: The new park includes a natural playscape with boulders and log bridges.
Playscapes often incorporate natural elements or creative designs beyond standard metal swing sets.
