What is popular in your garden for your 10/11 year olds to play with?

Our big trampoline has finally succumbed after years of service. My oldest two boys don't use the garden at all or care (15 and almost 18) but my 10 year old is devastated that I won't replace it. There is just no point as for the price, he will realistically only use it for another year.

So what can I replace it with? We already have an outdoor table tennis table which is really only used if friends are round. I need something for him that he can do alone as his teenage brothers are unlikely to play with him. Space is not a problem as such as our garden is very large. However, we do not have unlimited funds by any means!

What do your 10/11 year olds like in the garden?

Ds's favourite thing to play with is an ants' nest and crumbs of cake/grains of sugar. He can spend many happy hours watching them clear the sugar.
Add in a bee or two with sugared water and his joy is complete (as long as no wasps come near)
