The piece de resistance of any playground is of course the play structure. We have an (unfortunately) small area in our yard which we've designated for our play structure. I've been obsessively trolling the Internet and wandering our neighborhood for play structure inspiration. I came across these designs on The Playhouse Company's website:
I like how many of these designs are equipped with an abundance of climbing features and slides, but with an economic use of space.
This one even comes with storage underneath-- plenty of room to store all of that ubiquitous plastic kid crap.
We've toyed with the idea of building a pirate ship since what kid doesn't love running around yelling "argh?"
Not sure if this one has enough climbing features, but it could easily be adapted.
The difficulty will be somehow incorporating all of the play elements my older son wants (slide, rock wall, gang plank, fireman's pole, and on and on), making it safe for the little ones, and, perhaps most important, making it aesthetically pleasing to us. A tall order indeed.
