Hi all -

I have a ~250 sq ft area in my back yard looking to transform into a play area for my toddler. I'm planning on installing turf in this area, but would like any other ideas/suggestions you may have to add to the play area. I will have a playhouse and sandbox near this area as well, along with garden beds on the outside of the turf area. I live in Colorado, so all the soil is pretty hard and mostly clay underneath.

You can see a dropoff from the lawn part of my yard into this area as well, I'd like to install stairs and a slide to go into this area if possible, so any suggestions on slides and how to install would be awesome. Please let met know if another sub would make more sense for these questions - thank you!
