frisbee
A field or other place specifically designated for ultimate, other frisbee games, or recreational frisbee.
A frisbee site is a field, facility, or other place designated specially for games of ultimate frisbee, other frisbee-based games, or recreational frisbee, in which a circular plastic disk with a downturned lip is thrown from player to player.
The playing object is a flying disk passed between players. Ultimate is one included game, while the definition also permits other designated frisbee games and informal recreation.
The site must be specially designated for that activity. A general open field does not acquire this use solely because it could accommodate people throwing a disk, and formal ultimate competition is not required for every frisbee site.
