Amusement park still makes sense here. It's a park that provides fun. It doesn't work as an emotion. For that, you use "amused". Computers can be recreations, if they are used for fun and leisure. If you use them for work, they are not recreational. Also, recreations are anything at all that people do to relax or to have fun.

I went to an amusement park yesterday.
Watching TV is a great form of entertainment.
My friends reaction to BTS was funny
- English (US)
This game provides hours of amusement.
-Amusement=Fun, basically. It's also used with "For X's amusement", which has a meaning of "In order to amuse X", like "Dance for my amusement!"
It's for entertainment
Entertainment-The act of providing fun/enjoyment.
We have recreational games!
Recreation-A little hard to explain, but it basically means something someone does to relax. Also, I used -al there to make it an adjective, so they are games people play to unwind.

@macandcheeseerrydag I feel amusement is an emotion, but it also can be used for an amusement park, it makes me confusing…
Recreations are games for people to unwind, so play cards, play computers are recreations? but I think usually they just mean have some fun
