Is it worth getting a climbing frame for 7yr old?

Our DD would love a climbing frame/swing in the garden. We already have a play house but she is quite physical and wants to climb/hang/swing about.
DH thinks she is too old and won’t use it for long.
Anyone got a climbing frame/swing for older DC?

We have 3 big separate climbing frames in our garden not used .... occasionally monkey bars used maybe once a month if that.

The winner is the trampoline and swings - both used lots with 6,7,8,9 year olds 👍

My 8yo and nearly 10yo get daily use of our swings and horizontal bars. I don't think 7 is too old at all, not all equipment I aimed at toddlers.

Thanks @Stompythedinosaur I was thinking bars and a swing. Just not sure where to put them!

Look at Quadro. You can turn it into all sorts.

Put the swing somewhere you won't have to look at the inevitable mud patch underneath!

Double swings are good for hanging out and chatting as they get older.

If you have a good tree then rope swings are good too.

@Stompythedinosaur I wish we had a tree but sadly not.
You can see the whole garden from the back of the house so I'll have to learn to live with the mud. The lawn is a thing of practicality not beauty, so I can cope.

If you have a brick/garage wall you could get a transverse climbing wall. That can do them till adult if you plan your blocks well.
