that's a playground. If not on private property, a public playground.
Or are you referring to the structure itself? If so it's a jungle gym.

I'd call it a playground.
If it was something set up specifically for adults to exercise, I'd call it an outdoor gym. We have those at some parks in Sydney. But seeing there's a swing here, that's probably not what this is!

This looks like it's made for kids, so the spot in the picture would be a playground, or the play structure at a park.
If it's made for adults to use for fitness, I would call it an outdoor gym, or the outdoor fitness structure at the park. In America, these are usually part of a park, so part of a larger outdoor area for public use.p

Yard sounds British to you? Iāve always associated yard/lawn with American English and āgardenā with British English. Unless Iām misunderstanding something here.
Tall_Flounder_ā¢
āPlaygroundā, or āparkā if you want to slightly obscure the fact that you work out on childrenās play equipment. š Some parks have purpose-made exercise apparatus built separately from the kidsā playground so people can work out on it.
Affectionate-Mode435ā¢
- Where do you work out?
- Oh I actually just use the play equipment in the local children's playground.

Yard as a term for garden is not British.
In the UK we would call this a playground or play area, adult equipment for exercise found in parks is an outdoor gym but this looks designed for children.
Haziooā¢
I would call it bars (you exercise with various bars in such locations) but only because I don't know and I'm not a native lol

Park. "I work out at the park."
Given your guesses "Yard" and "Outdoors" and the emphasis on it not being private I assume you're referring to the general area and the concept of a public outdoor space and not so much the structure or equipment itself.
A playground or playground equipment is usually a specific part of a park.

At a public park.
AmruShbā¢
Just call it a calisthenics park.
Also, I think you're from an Eastern Slavic country (maybe Ukraine, Belarus, or Russia). I make this assumption because my girlfriend - Ukrainian - also calls an "area" a "territory" hehe.

You worked out at the childrenās playground? Well, you do you.

The area is a playground but the structure is a jungle gym.

I might call it a climbing frame.

Fitness Park or workout parkā¦
But this looks like a playground
FerdinandTheBullittā¢
This is definitely a mix of adult exercise equipment and kid's play equipment. If it's open to the public that would be a "public park" or "my local park" in my way of speaking.
joined_under_duressā¢
I'd point out it's kind of unusual for an adult to work out on a kid's climbing frame (which is what I'd probably call this in Britain) in the UK and Australia at least. Most parks that have a playground of any size in the UK will also have an adult outdoor gym which would look like this

There's an added layer of confusion for me because your title says
# It's not in private territory.
but that looks like someone's back garden (or yard if you're in the States) particularly because of the cloth children's play tent next door but it just doesn't look like where a park would be right next to houses like that. So this picture appears to be on private property (we would use that term 'property' not 'territory'.

This is a jungle gym. Usually located at a park or playground.
Quo_Usqueā¢
If itās something specifically designed for exercise, and not play equipment, then⦠Iād have trouble coming up with a name for it too, even though we have quite a few of those in my town. Iād call it an outdoor gym? Maybe? Or, you could say āI use the exercise equipment at the parkā
Imightbeafanofthisā¢
Tell them you work out at the gym. The jungle gym. :)
That's a play on words. A gym is where you go to work out. A 'jungle gym' is a piece of recreational equipment found in playgrounds. It is made of metal, and is something kids climb on.
Ippus_21ā¢
I'd go with playground.
Or you could say "public park". Lots of parks have (adult-sized) circuit training/bodyweight exercise equipment, installed for public use.
It might get some odd looks if you tell people you were working out on a playground (which is typically assumed to be for children).

Iām guessing this is not your picture and you found a similar structure online to use as an example, but youāre thinking of something thatās more like whatās [shown here (link to photo)](https://www.reddit.com/r/Oman/comments/p1un8c/does_anyone_know_where_i_can_find_an_outdoor/).
I would call it an outdoor exercise structure. You could also specify that itās in a park (if thatās true) and people will know what youāre talking about.
lincolnhawkā¢
I donāt exactly understand. Private territory? You mean this is a common outdoor space split between multiple homes/units? Shared yard.
The thing youāre using, or any similar installation of permanent outdoor fitness equipment, is an outdoor gym.
If I worked out here and it is in fact a shared yard, Iād actually just say āmy place has an outdoor gym.ā Or āour common area has a little outdoor gym.ā I wouldnāt call it a yard unless it was actually my yard, just because specifying āshared yardā feels cumbersome.
If itās in a park, you work out in the park.
I may also refer to this a greenspace, if itās not a formal park but serves that function for several housing units. Greenspace isnāt how Iād respond to a question about where I work out, but I would use it when describing the outdoor facilities at a housing complex. Weāve got a lil greenspace w/ an outdoor gym.
