swingset
Backyard play structure
A swingset is an outdoor play structure consisting of a frame—usually metal or wood—from which one or more swings hang on chains or ropes.
Found in backyards, playgrounds, and parks, swingsets often include additional features like slides or climbing bars.
The term is sometimes written as two words or hyphenated: swing set, swing-set.
The kids spent all afternoon on the swingset.
