Pool!! I grew up with one, it was great! I am such a strong swimmer because we had a pool available 24/7. Pool parties are fun too

I big play yard..my kids would love it.. or else an inclosed, heated pool. My children all love to swim, i say enclosed and heated that way it would be in a little building that could be kept warm so we could swim in the winter time, and a door could be locked that way I wouldn't have them sneaking into the pool when i wasn't looking!

we have a swing set with club house & rope. They can exchange the swings for rings or the bar. We also have a trampoline that we bought from Sam's. They have a sand box which they LOVE!

My children love,love, love being outdoors. My husband and I are also very fond of the outdoors. We take our children camping, off-roading on our UTV (Child care seats strapped in of course), hiking, swimming…all kinds of stuff. We spend all the time outside as possible, in the winter it is never warm enough to go outside, always under 15 degrees from November to April. We have a wooden swing set/play house in the back yard along with a huge sand box and they love it, I am glad we have it. I would really like to have a large kiddie pool with water geysers, a small water slide and dumping buckets like at the waterparks…but I am not so sure that is realistic living where we live, but it would be nice!

a whole farm! – - ok realistically …. a tree house with some "rock climbing" things to get up to it and a slide to get down. (and a ladder too) and pulley system to send up lunch!

A tree house!! We have a tiny yard w/ tiny trees…. maybe one day!
My dad built us a tree house when we were kids, it was the BEST!!

My parents (who live 20 minutes away) have an in-ground pool, trampoline, horseshoe pit, basketball goal, baseball field, etc, etc so we visit them a LOT- especially in the summer. I really want a bigger yard for my boys though. Right now we don’t have much room for anything more than a blow up pool and sandbox.

i would buy one of those huge horribly expensive outdoor play gym things,…. you know the ones with a ‘tree’ house and slides, swings all the works. i would get it because it would be fun for the kids (and the whole family). at the moment i don’t really have anything that is too much fun outside. my daughter is only 18 months and the only thing she has that she really likes is a power wheels truck that my MIL bought her that she can’t even drive yet. it’s still too cold to go outside and explore.

Swimming pool. Any local park has anything else you'd need.

I’m with s@hm….a pool with a pool boy would be nice….and a cabana….Oh wait, this is supposed to be for the kids right? Dangit! LoL

We have one of those monstrosity of a jungle gym that a friend of our’s gave to us with the little tree house, slide, monkey bars, swings, etc. So maybe I’d want to add a little "rock wall" to it, I don’t know. Let me ask her….okay, Hannah wants a dog, does that count as "outdoor equipment"? What if we get a husky? LoL

Oooh I know…..I think we’d all enjoy a slip-n-slide built into our little hill that I wouldn’t have to clean up after every use. That would be cool!
