Backyard Obstacle Course

[Playa]

My kids are obsessed with Ninja Warrior & a YouTube channel called Ninja Kids. They want an obstacle course built in our backyard. I think it’s great and I believe that style of movement is crucial to full body strength and conditioning, as well as problem solving skills.

The problem is… my carpentry skills are crap and I certainly can’t design and build this. Anyone know of a good kit, or at least very detailed plans that include supply lists?

Easier to climb trees and run along creek banks. Same skill sets involved.

Except I live on the treeless plain known as the Llano Estacado, aka Lubbock, and it’s as flat as a table top, so no creeks to speak of either

Look on pintrest or you tube. I'm sure you can find something there.

I was going to do a piranha pond, felt like they would be easier to contain, but I suppose I would have to replace them after each winter

How long will they bet interested in it? I think I would way that decision based on the prices of lumber.

Not as cool as in the back yard though.

Oh I’m super familiar with it! My wife broke her ankle there in Feb 2020! Unfortunately it was a victim of COVID and didn’t survive the shutdown
