What age is still good for a climbing frame?

We've just redone our garden and now have a lovely lawn. We're thinking of getting some kind of climbing frame/slide/swing set for the kids, but I'm not sure whether they would outgrow it pretty quickly.

DS is 7 and DD is 5. We're looking at one with a couple of swings, a slide and maybe a rope ladder or climbing wall. Are they likely to outgrow it in a couple of years? (I mean lose interest, not physically outgrow it)

I still loved stuff like that up to about age 12, but I don't know whether that's typical!

No, I think up to 12, if you get a decent 'big kid' size one. And limit screen time, which is outdoor play's biggest rival.
