Kitzur SA 18:8:  לא יתפלל במקום פרוץ כגון בשדה, מפני שכשהוא במקום
צניעות, חלה עליו אימת המלך, ולבו נשבר ונכנע. ואם הוא בדרך מותר לו
להתפלל בשדה, ואם אפשר לו, יתפלל בין האילנות

"One should not pray in a open area like a field, since in a private
place the fear of The King is upon him and his heart is broken and
subdued."

"And if he's on the road he may travel in the field, though if
possible he should stand between the trees."

Interesting query: what if he can concentrate better outside since
it's too hot/stuffy inside.
