Is it the machine for development, or testing purposes, not for actual production purposes? I've heard it used to mean what I understood as "a playground" or "a trial (and error) area", some place you don't need kept neat, or some place that can be easily scrapped and used again. FWIW, it could be some area on a development machine, like a separate disk drive, for example.

Sandbox is a box used for "proof of concept". Therefore, it is a development box but a different kind of development is done there because it's not something that will necessarily go to production. It's just something being done to proof some concept. At least, that's what we've used several sandboxes for.
