I remember as a kid, most all my country relatives had permanent horseshoe pits set up.

I don't see many anymore.

I still see this at campgrounds and such.

But definitely not quite as much as before.

That game was so fun. We played football in gym with all the damn rules that you were too impatient for and some kid asked, why can't we just tackle the guy with the ball like in smear?

I found a decent croquet set at a junk shop this spring and we have set it up and played several times.
I had been trying to find a nice set for a while but there was like no middle ground. Either cheap and junk or they jumped up to like $600 sets with still mixed reviews.
Me and my son played shuffleboard a few times at our resort on vacation.
No clue if we were doing it right: just kind of made up our own rules but we had fun.

I haven't seen an outdoor shuffleboard court since I was a child at a campground, but shufflepuck tables are pretty popular at craft beer and hipster cocktail bars

Was gonna run with this but yesterday my buddy's kids were actually messing around with a badminton set and I informed my buddy that the projectile was a shuttlecock.

I haven't played in 100 years.  We have a volleyball net set somewhere around here.  Off to Amazon for a racquet set and some shuttlecocks...

How about playing war. We used to get sticks or branches shaped roughly like guns a chase each other around and "shoot" each other. Also ambushes and sneaking up on people. When I got older I actually started taking boards and cutting the shapes of different guns out and painting them. Used dowel rods for barrels and even made sights. I would hand them out when we'd  play. Pretty badass when we were kids.

Likely make national news and likely get a kid shot nowadays.

Steel tip darts.

I'm in a city with easily a thousand bars within a 10 mile radius and we probably have only a half dozen bars with steel tip dartboards. Lots of plastic electronic crap but steel is becoming a rarity.
