| My kids are long grown, but they liked our patio to ride their bikes, and they also liked grass in the yard for the swing set, picnics, birthday parties, playhouse, swimming pool, tent. They liked a sand box area also, and places to dig. (boys obviously) If there is no shade, you might want to plant a tree. I saw a yard once where they paved a circular loop around the yard for the kids to ride their bikes. Think about designing the play areas so they can be seen from the house as much as possible so as she gets older, you can be inside (cooking or whatever!) but still keep an eye on her and friends as they play. I probably have not answered your questions at all, but thought I'd share what I remember our kids doing in the yard. I think it would be a nice investment to level the yard as much as possible to make a nice area for her and friends, because unless she's an "inside girl" she'll spend a lot of time out there. Good luck. |
