The absence of punctuation does not in itself cause a string of words to be defined as a fragment, nor does the presence of punctuation cause a string of words to be defined as a sentence. A sentence without a full stop is not a fragment; it is a sentence without a full stop. A phrase followed by a full stop is not a sentence; it is a fragment.

Is We went to the park I played on the swings a sentence fragment?

Well, isn't that just a happy little sentence fragment you've got there! Remember, a complete sentence needs a subject and a verb. In this case, "We went to the park" is a complete sentence, but "I played on the swings" is also a complete sentence. So when you put them together without proper punctuation, you end up with a sentence fragment. Just add a comma or a conjunction like "and" to join them together, and you'll have a complete thought!

Can you end a sentence with am I?

Yes. You can end a sentence with "am I" as is shown here: "I'm not that mean, am I?". I'd think that it'd normally be in the form of a question with some sort of punctuation (like the comma in the example) separating it from the main body of the sentence. Just make sure that you don't do something like this: "I'm not that mean. Am I?". In that sentence "Am I" is a sentence fragment.
