House and grounds where one may find game (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

villa park

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one may find game' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'house and grounds' is the wordplay.
'house' becomes 'villa' (villa is a kind of house).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'grounds' becomes 'park' (grounds can mean parkland around a building).
'villa'+'park'='VILLA PARK'

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for villa park that I've seen is " ground".)
