When I was a kid, we used our lawn, our friends lawns, and neighbor's lawns constantly. After school, we would be out there playing games like tag, red light, football, Frisbee, or some other excuse for running around outside, until we gad to go on and have dinner and then work on homework.
Having those yards kept us kids sane, and probably our parents too, as we had places to burn off energy, and get out of their hair for awhile.
If there isn't anywhere else to play but your own lawn, then your area has inadequate infrastructure. There should be multiple parks within a short, safe walk along with other things for kids to do that don't require everyone having their own dedicated lawns.
