Swing set/monkey bars for a 7 yo

[wondering45]

We are redesigning our garden and I have had an idea of installing a pergola with a swing for our 7 yo dc and perhaps monkey bars on the top and a climbing bar in the side. The idea is it could also double as a football goal (with the swing pulled up) and then when he outgrows it it can be a feature with climbers and maybe a hanging chair. Just wondered how long he might use it for. We have no play equipment in garden at the moment other than trampoline but I have fond memories of having a swing when I was younger,! Will it be redundant due to iPad?

Kids next door continued to use play equipment, which moved from being a swing and climbing frame to a place to hang out. They've just got rid of it this year, and replaced by a sort of sitting out shelter, now their youngest is 16.

I think you'd probably get 2 or 3 years of it being a play item, and then it would move on to being somewhere to meet with friends rather than something to platy on.
