There are thousands of places where people can go and battle. Whether it be up on the roof, inside an old warehouse or any place that looks dramatic. But what can they do when these places are unavailable or out of reach?
Well, they'll have to make do with what they can find, no matter how silly it looks.
A normal fight in the woods can result in being taken to a nearby local park where children usually play. It's rather unlikely that children are around at the time or people passing by. Expect the people taking part in this fight to be either grown adults or creatures from another planet... or someone who should know better. Some instances can be children as well, but the scuffle might not always be childlike.
Most cases, the fighters will be using war weaponry like swords and guns, or they'll just use Improv Fu. Expect to see things such as fighting on the spinning roundabout, a quick escape down a slide, and/or someone claiming empowerment on the bridge above the monkey-bars. If they are ever caught by a passer-by, said passer-by might back away slowly or not react; it's could also be a child that is immediately shushed by their oblivious parent, but if an adult is the first one to see, they might try to distract the child or Cover Innocent Eyes and Ears.

Colossal features two characters who inadvertently create kaiju avatars of themselves in Seoul if they step foot in a particular playground at a certain time. This results in the two characters clashing on the playground in their human forms while their giant monster forms duke it out on the other side of the globe.

The Power Rangers franchise often featured this trope at least once in their many spin-off shows, when the Rangers had to fight some mooks in the nearest place possible (or just where they meet up).

SMOSH did a brief parody of Super Smash Bros. in which Fox McCloud questioned why he, Link, Solid Snake, and Jigglypuff choose to fight in a playground instead of doing something "productive". When Fox tries to escape, he's obliterated by the drop from the slide to the floor, so the others decide to stay where they are.

One sketch from Robot Chicken parodies the Indiana Jones movies with children on the playground, featuring the Jones-expy swinging off the roundabout to use the bullies as target practice, and one boy getting sliced to pieces by girls playing Double Dutch (although implied).

Discussed in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Dr. Horrible refuses to fight an online challenger at a local park because children play there. Presumably, there's a playground.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The episode where Buffy has her eighteenth birthday opens with her fighting a vampire in an Abandoned Playground, for the requisite leave-childhood-behind symbolism.
