sand pits

Children's digging areas

Sand pits are excavations where sand is extracted for construction, manufacturing, or other industrial uses.

The term also refers to enclosed areas filled with sand for children's play—what Americans more often call a sandbox.

In golf, sand pits are bunkers: Her ball landed in the sand pit on the seventh hole.
