My loading screen takes forever so I don't travel much. I would like to have a lot that:
a) is at least 40*30
b) children playground nearby
c) meeting point nearby (like chess tables, barbecue etc.)
d) fishing spot nearby
e) it's a pretty lot on a grass (not desert)
so I don't have to travel anywhere because of these things.
Now I know only about 2 locations in Willowcreek (Brook Bungalow and Umbrage Manor) but I would rather play in a different world. Do you know about any great gameplay lots?

Edit: Sorry it's not a different world. Only Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and Newcrest have playgrounds for children. There's Midtown Meadows in Newcrest with nearby junglebars, fishing pond and I think there's barbeque too.

Well, you need a residential lot for your sim to live on. That imposes certain limitations straight away. But you can use build mode to add objects like barbeques, monkey bars, picnic tables, chess tables, etc.
You won't get a bunch of random sims spawning on the lot like you would on a "community" lot, but you can invite people over or have club meet-ups there.
If I were you I'd bulldoze the library in Willow Creek, rezone it to residential, build a house or add one from the Gallery, then add all the extra stuff you need. There's already a play area next door you can access without zoning and you can also run down to the water to fish. Oh and there's a barbeque there as well.
Yes, I know about this. But I don't want to invite people or anything. When I have to meet like 5 new sims (doesn't matter if it's a whim or because of job/aspiration) I have to travel to another (community) lot or wait so long till someone passes by my house. But with this spawning places near some houses, all I have to do is go outside and sims will come.
This is what I love about apartments, because when you go downstairs, there are meeting points with bunch of people. But around most of the residential lots is nothing, just nature, maybe a pond. I don't like the trees in Willowcreek, otherwise the Bungalow house is perfect.

I edited my previous post. Like I said in the last paragraph, try bulldozing the library in Willow Creek and rezoning it to residential. There's lots of pedestrian action in that zone.
I know you said you don't like Willow Creek, but that's all I've got for spaces with a lot of greenery and it's pretty ideal otherwise. Maybe there's a place in the Pets world if you have that EP (I don't).

I don't like those with hanging liana or whatever it is. I didn't think about Newcrest. Is there anything between empty lots? Like sims spawning place?

Yep there's fishing pond, barbeque and playground with monkey bars.

Thank you so much

Some changes might be needed for using the house for living. It's only 30 x 30, though, but is a two story house.
The fishing spots are not visible from the house but only from the river as you need to go down a ramp to reach them.
The square has some activities for children, too, and has some of the festivals.
Edit: Some pictures from The Old Salt House in my game might be found here. Four sims are living there.
And you have space out back to do backyard stuff, to me that's the best of both worlds (city & suburbs).

we all try ...
There is a children's playground, chess table across the road, and fishing spots. Bulldoze the lots in Magnolia Promenade and rezone them as Residential. I usually put in a restaurant, b/c I like having one around, but since you don't want load screens, you could just do all residential lots so all your favorite sims are in the same neighborhood. You'll see everyone out and about jogging, at the playground, playing chess, or fishing. If you don't mind only having 4 lots to work with, it's the perfect spot for the things you're looking for.
Magnolia Promenade
You can see a large "park" like area behind the house
This shot lets you see the park and the bbq area that sims can grill at. (It's where the umbrella tables are).
It's a really pretty area to set up a small neighborhood.
There are a few residential lots in front of a park in Newcrest, too. That's where this screenshot was taken. Only monkey bars are at it, though.
Your Magnolia Promenade is beautiful !
I believe the harbor (Whiskerman's Wharf) in Brindleton Bay also has all of these things and there are two 40x30 lots.

It doesn't tell for Newcrest...
Right now I have:
WC: Pendula View
OS: Parched Prospect and Oasis Springs Commercial District
And for Brindleton Bay?
Myshuno Meadows has a playground, does it have a jungle gym? Can someone make a list lol.
Edit: http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=21608.0 This is very helpful! Now for the other worlds haha
There is a little picnic bbq area where there will almost always be sims or some leftovers to munch on
If you want to build logic and play a game of chess there is an area with two chess tables
Lovely little fishing spot as well
and for the kids a park to play at with public toilets
There are only four lots in that world, so if you bulldoze them and place only what you want there then this world is the best for not travelling. All the things above can be accessed without travelling no matter which of the 4 lots you move into, because its like one big neighbourhood not like the others that have parts in theirs.
Did not work, I thought sims could live on generic lots then other sims will come onto your lot without permission, but nope did not work bleh. Well Magnolia parade is a nice option then
I moved when C&D came out and missed it too much so I went back there.
Bottom left neighborhood for Newcrest. Both monkey bars and the pirate boat.
