playset

Outdoor play structure

A playset is outdoor play equipment for children, typically combining features like swings, slides, climbing structures, and platforms into a single unit: We spent the weekend assembling a playset in the backyard.

The term also applies to themed toy collections—action figures with vehicles and accessories, dollhouse furnishings, or building sets packaged together: a dinosaur playset, a kitchen playset.
