    We have a swing/slide set that has room for both kids at once, a sandpit and a trampoline. I can usually spend about an hour at a time out there rotating between activities. When the weather gets better we have soccer goals and some cones for them to kick a ball around and we have a little picnic table so they can eat lunch out there in the summer.

    Oooh we have a tennis ball on a stick! Key with that if you have little ones is one bat at a time or else it becomes "hit your brother on the head with a bat accidentally

    My backyard looks like a childcare centre.
    We have a cubby on stilts with a sandpit underneath and a slide attached. The sand is strewn for metres either side. It's on this weird gravel driveway (we're in company housing), and Nate has as much enjoyment from carting gravel in his bid dump trucks as he does from the sandpit. We have a swing set adaptable for different ages. We have a trampoline but due to the heat here that only gets used half the year.
    We have a vege patch they're allowed to play in and a bit of dirt set aside for them to dig and mix in.
    We have a sand and water table that's used for all sorts of things not just sand and water.
    They have a table and chairs but they also have an art table that's a bit higher and used for making/painting under the verandah
    They have their bikes/scooters/gyrobikes (very cool and a great toy)/skateboard etc that they can ride under the verandah
    totem tennis
    bucket of large chalk
