Opposite to Andre i suggest reusing the existing outer ways (fence etc.) 
and creating a boundary-relation. The wiki article in fact solely 
focusses on the use for administrative boundaries, but you could simply 
extend it to site boundaries as well. I would suggest these tags for the 
relation:

type=boundary
boundary=site
name=<PLAYGROUND_NAME>
leisure=playground

I'm not quite confident with the leisure=playground, but otherwise 
you'll end up with even more steps of details (e.g. site=playground). 
But you decide.
