Taman bermain modern

Taman bermain, taman permainan, atau tempat permainan adalah sebuah tempat yang khusus dirancang agar anak-anak dapat bermain disana. Meskipun tempat bermain biasanya ditujukan kepada anak-anak, beberapa mentargetkan kelompok usia lain. Contohnya, Preußenpark di Berlin dirancang untuk orang-orang berusia 70 tahun ke atas. Tempat bermain mengkecualikan anak-anak di bawah usia tertentu.

Tempat bermain modern biasanya memiliki alat-alat rekreasional seperti jungkat-jungkit, mangkok putar, ayunan, perosotan, besi panjat, bak pasir, kuda jungkit, rumah permainan dan labirin.
