A flat grassy area is the perfect palate for any kind of outdoor activity or sport your child may enjoy, and planting a few trees around the perimeter will create shade, privacy, and a great support for soccer nets or hammocks. Water is an easy way to add fun to summer months- whether it's an in-ground swimming pool, simple lawn sprinklers, or a hose hooked up to a slip-n-slide. It's a simple and inexpensive way to cool you and your kids off during the hottest months of the year. Creating specialized play areas will have your child and all their friends playing in your backyard until the sun goes down. Hideaway spots- from tool sheds to tree houses- offer a perfect place for kids to get creative and have their own hang out spot. A wide, paved area can be converted into a basketball court, and jungle gyms, hopscotch courts, sandboxes, or even a plain patch of dirt for small kids with trucks and toys can offer hours of entertainment. It's important to keep in mind the changing needs of your child when purchasing expensive equipment. This year's sandbox will be replaced by a skate ramp on next year's wish list.
