5 Ways to Go on Vacation in Your Own Backyard | The Design Tree by Greentea Design commented on Jul 15 11 at 6:18 amJessi commented on Jun 03 11 at 10:38 amThese ideas are great!!! and i love the sunken Trampoline my son has been asking for one but i’m a little nervous with all the safety issues this may just sway me to try it for him.
Brienne commented on Jun 06 11 at 1:29 pmI love these ideas but please be safe with the sunken trampoline. A child almost drown last week in our county because the hole under the trampoline filled with water. He was a toddler and he managed to slip under there accidentally. It’s a great idea just be sure to follow all instruction carefully on that one.
CMB Display Designs commented on Jun 08 11 at 11:05 amLove this post!!! Would love to have any of these in my backyard. Thanks for the great ideas…a lot of work ahead of me this summer :)
meredith sinclair commented on Jun 09 11 at 12:27 pmFantastic ideas! I SO WANT THAT TRAMPOLINE!
thanks for sharing!
Sari (Vintage-Twisted) commented on Jun 12 11 at 9:30 amI love these gorgeous ideas. I’m especially obsessed with the in ground tramp. My kids have been begging for a trampoline, but didn’t know quite how to handle the getting on & off with my little guy with cerebral palsy- build a staircase with a platform? That might be bigger than our whole backyard. This is perfect!
Thanks for your input, Brienne-very important consideration. We’ll have to figure out some kind of drainage system…
Don’t you all wish you had a nest just like that when you were 6?
Meagan commented on Jun 12 11 at 1:41 pmBeautiful ideas
and pictures!
trampoline commented on Jun 13 11 at 3:13 pmThe safety issue with trampolines is kids flipping on them. If a kid lands wrong during a flip, they can land on their neck and be paralyzed. Hair can get stuck in trampolines, further injuring the spinal cords.
Carolyn commented on Jun 20 11 at 3:22 amThe skateboard ramp is wonderful. Kids love to do these things, so give them a way to do it safely at home. Invite their friends and you can keep an eye on your kids while they’re with their friends. Excellent post!
Carolyn Gatzke commented on Jun 24 11 at 3:38 pmBeautiful photos of fantasy play spaces. Unachievable in most families. Lure us to sprinkler play, chalked hopscotch games, and lemonade stands.

jinxia wang commented on Jan 23 12 at 11:19 pmgood ideas, really creative .If interested in crafts please check:http://bettyshimalayanhandicrafts.blogspot.com/
Andria commented on Apr 13 12 at 2:13 pmCool ideas, but a little bit of a stretch in my opinion. That cabana mezzanine? Those sides! How is that even remotely safe? For anyone, let alone kids?
Lauren commented on Apr 26 12 at 1:57 amSunken trampoline works until someone jumps too high and lands head first (or even feet first) on hard ground rather than bouncy trampoline. I approve of the playhouses, though. Especially the gypsy wagon.
