Backyard Energy Burn: Turn Up the Summer Fun with a DIY Obstacle Course
Summer is awesome…until the “I’m bored” hits and the kids start turning your living room into a wrestling ring. When the days are long and the energy is high, having a go-to activity that burns off steam (without a screen in sight) is a total game-changer.
That’s where the Playzone Fit Obstacle Course Race Set comes in. It's easy to set up, endlessly customizable, and guaranteed to get kids running, jumping, laughing, and asking to do it again. Whether you're setting it up in the backyard, taking it to the park, or using it inside on a too-hot day, it’s the kind of toy that actually gets used.
Why We Love It for Summer
-
It’s portable and takes just minutes to set up
-
You can keep it simple or make it as wild and creative as your kids want
-
It’s fun for toddlers and big kids
-
It gets everyone moving (and hopefully ready for an early bedtime)
This set is one of those affordable backyard toys that turns a regular summer day into something a little more exciting, and it doesn’t require a trip to the trampoline park or a backyard overhaul.
Make It a Whole Thing!
Here are a few fun ways to keep it fresh every time you pull it out:
-
Water Day Challenge: Add water balloons, a sprinkler dash, or a sponge toss
-
Time Trials: Can they beat their personal best?
-
Team Relay: Siblings vs. grown-ups? Let the games begin
-
Chalk It Out: Use sidewalk chalk to add arrows, jump zones, or funny instructions
The best part? The kids usually want to design the next version themselves, so you can kick back a little and let them take the lead.
No Fuss, Just Fun
We love toys that get kids outside, using their imaginations, and working their bodies. The Obstacle Course Race Set checks all the boxes, and it's the kind of kids' outdoor toy that grows with them and can be used a hundred different ways.
So if your summer could use a little less boredom and a little more action, this one’s a solid win!
