Do you own a swing set & do your kids use it?

We have one of the wood sets with 2 swings, slide, glider, fort and sandbox. Bought it from Walmart years 7 years ago when the kids were 3 and newborn. We have changed out various parts throughout the years, but overall it has held up great and the kids love to use it still.

yes, we have a payset, and yes the kids play on it....a lot. they love to be outside. We bought a new one, but spent under $500 for it. It is a wooden one, with a tower/slide/rock wall. there are 2 swings and a glider, which hang form a row of monkey bars. I think the brand is call "Adventures". We bought it at a local home improvement store, I think toys r us carries them now. It was not a super-extra-heavy-duty-made-to-last-as-long-as-your-home type of set. It was a pre-cut, pre-drilled, vinyl wrapped posts type of set. It will last as long as we need it, the kids love it, and it was well worth the money. i don't think we would get our money's worth out of the you-build-it kind. Those are EXPENSIVE, and will last through your kids, grandkids and great grandkids. We won't be needing it that long
