I'm a big believer in natural and immediate consequences. If the kid is misbehaving during recess, then having to SIT by the fence for a time-out would make sense. If the kid acted up when he/she was supposed to be lining up for recess, then having to sit in a time-out in the classroom for the first part of recess would make sense. I don't think walking should every be a punishment -- it is a form of exercise, which is something kids should be learning to enjoy because it's good for them, not learning that it is something bad. It's kinda like how teachers used to make kids write sentences for misbehaving -- it just ended up making the kids hate writing.
