[quote=Anonymous]We have three kids who are always outdoors. Best thing we ever did was NOT buy one of those expensive swingsets.  We instead got less permanent outdoor equipment and switched it out when they got bored. We had a trampoline during Covid that got a lot of use (TBH - kids were in middle school and late elementary at that time and were probably just a bit too old).

We have a rope swing on one of our trees and a soccer goal. Basketball hoop in the driveway - these all got a lot of use.

But our kids were all bike riders and as soon as they were old enough to ride through the neighborhood independently (around 6-7 years old) they would hop on their bikes and go to their friends houses to hang out. Then they would just travel around the neighborhood.

The people in the neighborhood we know with swingsets paid a fortune for them, didn't get a lot of use out of them, and now that their kids are older, will need to pay someone to come out and figure out how to get rid of them.[/quote]
