    Hey, I’m not much with Particle Playground, but since no one else is offering…

    There is the “Wall” parameter (8th one down or third from the bottom) that will make a boundry from a mask on the layer(if it’s selected after you twirl down Wall). An open mask (line) makes a wall/shelf/roof/floor, a close mask (ie oval) makes a container for the particles.

    Alternatively if you have PP on a layer above, it can be smaller and hence limit the particles to that since they don’t go beyond the layer applied to. But the shape would still be rectangular even though smaller. I think the Wall is better.
