[quote=Anonymous]That's a great pic in the link!

They are large, however.  My husband bought a used one (he did some work on) that has a slide, a little upper deck with a phone (?), and three slots for swings.  Of course, it's not huge, but it does take up a good chunk of the yard.  We have btw. 1/2 and 3/4 acre.

If OP has acres and lives in areas like Glenelg or Marriottsville, something that large will not be an eyesore.  I know; we pass one by each time we visit my SIL in Ho Co.  The homes are McMansions on 2-3 acres, and the playsets are placed in the far back of the house.

[quote=Anonymous]I somehow doubt either of those are as enormous as those picture make them look.

But anyway, no, I would not spend that much on a playset for my kids. However, my parents got a modest one for my brother and I, and I used that thing until I was in my early 20's. Granted, it was a different style from these (more things to swing on, no slides or forts), but they got their money's worth for sure.

Also, I vehemently disagree with earlier advice to just get a trampoline and invite over neighbor kids. [/quote][/quote]
