recreational space

Place for play

Recreational space is an area designated for leisure activities, play, or relaxation—parks, playgrounds, sports fields, and similar public or private grounds.

Urban planners use the term when discussing community amenities: The development must include adequate recreational space.

The phrase emphasizes the space itself rather than specific activities it hosts.
