@dongelev85 Thank you for telling me! So in no case will Americans use this phrase, right? Actually, it’s not grass, but plastic cement, which was printed in green to make it look more beautiful. 😁

‎Hello! How do you call this in English? I always think it’s called a playground, for I learnt it from a textbook. But I recently watched a video which told me a “playground” was used to refer to a small ground with some amusement facilities for children. See a translation

@Ergnafnil No, I've never heard anyone use that phrase. You could just call it a field. though. or a track & field since it includes a race track.I've also never seen a basketball court on grass. The ball would not bounce very well on that

An athletic field. The lines around it are a racetrack.
