Building a little obstacle course for my 8yo and his friends. So far I have:
Thinking of adding a cargo net situation but that seems expensive. What else could work? Looking for stuff that's fun but also won't destroy my homeowner's insurance if someone eats dirt lol
A balance beam obstacle is good but make sure the landing is soft—my 8yo jumped off halfway and ate dirt. Add some thick grass area or mulch underneath.
Wall sit hold or plank challenge station? Some kids are into that. Also maybe a blindfolded obstacle (with you spotting) if his friends are up for it—adds a fun challenge element
Honestly this sounds sick as is. The fact that you built it from scratch is what matters. Your 8yo is gonna remember this way more than the exact number of obstacles. When are the friends coming over?
Add a crawl tunnel! You can make one with some PVC hoops and a tarp or just use a big cardboard box. Kids love that part for some reason.

Tire flips or a tire jump section would be fun if you have an old tire. Can't believe you have monkey bars already, that's the dream setup
