  Sandpit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandpits are often found on playgrounds but — unlike most playground equipment — are easy enough to construct that they often occur in back yards of homes, as well.
Sandpits encourage the imaginations of children as they are able to build small cities or sandcastles; use toy trucks, shovels, and buckets to move the sand around; dig holes and bury things; in other words, the sand provides a medium in which children can pretend to explore, construct, and destroy the world in three dimensions.
This is central to metaphorical uses of the word sandbox as opposed to sandpit.
