Is roughing it more your style? Forgo the fancy grill entirely in favor of a stone fire pit with attached grilling grates.
If lawn bowling and boccie aren't for you, try a round green for putting. This one is big enough for Frisbee tossing and croquet.

Multilevel deck. When you are working with a sloped or narrow lot, splitting up the deck into multiple levels can make the best use of the space. An outdoor kitchen could be positioned on the upper level (nearest the house) for easy access to the indoor kitchen, while a seating area or fire pit could be placed a few steps down, creating a private hangout zone.
Naughtin advises ensuring that the window is wide enough to accommodate the number of stools you need with room to spare. Allow 28 to 30 inches of space per person (including the stool or chair) to prevent elbow clashes and to make it easy to get in and out of the seats.
Pass-throughs are becoming particularly popular in new builds, according to Dan Kitchens Australia designer Graeme Metcalf. He calls the outdoor kitchen the next step in the evolution of the outdoor entertaining area.
