Decent reason for play area (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fairground

'play area' is the definition.
(entertainment area)

'decent reason' is the wordplay.
'decent' becomes 'fair' (I've seen this before).
'reason' becomes 'ground' (synonyms).
'fair'+'ground'='FAIRGROUND'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fairground that I've seen before include "Scary ride here perhaps" , "Where one plays" , "Entertainment centre" , "rides here" , "Entertainment venue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
