<p>I think you won't always use a Chinese word for <strong>for</strong> when translating. Your sentence doesn't need it.</p>

<p>The park is a great place for playing in.<br>
这个公园是一个玩耍的好地方。</p>

<p>Mostly, <strong>for</strong> will turn up in translation, when you need it, as 给 or 为</p>

<p>Please write something for me.<br>
请<strong>为我</strong>写点什么。 </p>

<p>I'm trying to say "the park is great for playing" but I can only think about saying 公園很好玩的地方。Is there a way where I can describe the park as being a good or the best place for playing? thanks</p>

Other example:

"Handgun is (**for**) killing people" = "手槍是(**用於**)殺人(**的**)" or "手槍是殺人(**用的**)"

"Handgun is good (**for**) killing people" = "手槍是很適合(**用於**)殺人(**的**)" or "手槍是很適合(**於**)殺人(**用的**)"
