lek (“play; lek”) +‎ plats (“place”)

Noun

lekplats c

  1. a playground
    Synonym: (often larger) lekpark
  2. (biology) a place (usually identical from year to year) where animals engage in lek

Usage notes

When playground is used more generally for the outdoor recreational area at a school (possibly just with some basketball hoops or the like), Swedish prefers skolgård (“schoolyard”) to lekplats (“playground”). Lekplats emphasizes an area with playground equipment or the like.
