I have both a huge yard and a huge garden (for veggies). I have 3 acres and the kids are allowed to play in a 1 acre space. I do not have it fenced but the kids know their boundaries!! They learn quickly where they are allowed and where they are not. I also don't allow the kids in my veggie garden!
Garden to me, being English, is green space so lawned area, flowerbeds etc. A yard would literally be a concrete space. Still considered a "back garden" but often referred to as a yard, at least to me. My vegetable garden is my "veggie plot" just an area of my back garden within the whole space. I have a veggie patch at the back of my garden now that is 30 x 15 so a huge lot for growing goodies, and the other 80 ft is patio with BBQ, conversational, dining set and umbrella and then grass with a wooden play structure, my kids trampoline and a small shed full of outdoor daycare toys. All is fully fenced.
