The Ultimate Guide to Backyard Fun & Games Equipment
A great backyard isn't just outdoor space — it's a destination. Whether you're outfitting a residential yard for your kids, building out a school playground, or equipping a park or community recreation area, the right equipment transforms how people use the space. At Omaha Sports & Games, our Backyard Fun & Games collection brings together a wide range of premium outdoor play and entertainment equipment — trampolines, GaGa ball pits, swing sets, cornhole boards, climbing gyms, disc golf baskets, spring riders, and more — from brands including Akrobat, Action Play Systems, Jumpking, Ghost Boards, GrowTheSport, Four Hands, Wood and Hearts, and more. This guide walks through every category so you can find the right equipment for your space, your riders, and your budget.
Trampolines: Above-Ground vs. In-Ground
Trampolines are one of the most universally loved pieces of backyard equipment — and one of the most important to choose carefully. The right trampoline depends on your yard size, your aesthetic preferences, and how much you want to invest in long-term safety and durability.
Jumpking 10'x15' Rectangle Trampoline
The Jumpking 10’x15’ Rectangle Trampoline ($899.99) is the above-ground option in our lineup — a full-featured family trampoline that includes an enclosure net, ladder, and two powder-coated basketball hoops with breakaway rims, all in one package. Jumpking has been manufacturing trampolines for decades and the rectangle format is consistently preferred over round designs for performance: the elongated shape provides more even bounce across the surface and allows riders to practice more controlled, directional jumps. The included enclosure net, breakaway basketball hoops, and ladder make this a true all-in-one backyard setup at an accessible price point. It's a strong choice for families who want a premium trampoline experience without committing to an in-ground installation.
Akrobat Primus Flat In-Ground Trampolines
For families who want the safest and most aesthetically refined trampoline setup available, Akrobat's range of Primus Flat In-Ground Trampolines is the answer. In-ground trampolines eliminate the primary safety risk of traditional above-ground models — the fall hazard from height — by sitting flush with the surface of the ground. When a rider rolls or falls off, they land on the grass, not from several feet up. They also blend seamlessly into any backyard landscape, removing the visual bulk of a traditional trampoline frame and net structure.
We carry the full Akrobat Primus range in three configurations. The 10’x6’ Akrobat Primus Flat In-Ground Trampoline (from $2,585) is the most compact option — suited for tighter backyard spaces or younger, lighter riders. The 11’x8’ Akrobat Flat In-Ground Trampoline (from $2,634.50) offers a meaningful step up in jumping surface without requiring a large excavation footprint. The 14’x10’ Akrobat Primus Flat In-Ground Trampoline (from $2,854.50) is the largest configuration — offering a generous jumping surface that can accommodate multiple riders and more advanced jumping technique. All three are built to Akrobat's exacting quality standards with UV-resistant materials and spring systems engineered for consistent, long-lasting performance.
GaGa Ball Pits: Action Play Systems
GaGa ball has become one of the most popular group games at schools, camps, and parks across the country — and for good reason. The game is fast, inclusive, requires no specialized equipment for players, and scales naturally from small groups to large crowds. Played inside an enclosed octagonal pit, participants use their hands to hit a ball and try to eliminate opponents by striking them below the knee — last player standing wins. It's high-energy, easy to learn, and endlessly replayable for kids and teens of virtually any athletic ability.
Action Play Systems offers three GaGa ball pit options in our collection, covering portable, permanent, and ADA-compliant configurations.
GaGa2Go Ball Pit
The Action Play Systems GaGa2Go Ball Pit ($1,500) is the portable, collapsible option — designed for events, camps, youth organizations, and any setting where the pit needs to be assembled and disassembled across multiple locations. The GaGa2Go sets up quickly, packs down for transport, and delivers the full GaGa ball experience without a permanent installation. It's the right choice for churches, scout troops, recreational programs, and families who want the flexibility to bring the game to different venues.
Standard In-Ground GaGa Ball Pit
The Action Play Systems Standard In-Ground GaGa Ball Pit (from $1,350) is the permanent installation option — designed for schools, parks, community centers, and backyards that want a dedicated, fixed GaGa ball arena. Built to commercial durability standards, the in-ground pit is designed to withstand continuous use by many players across many seasons without degradation. The lower price point relative to the premium version makes this the practical choice for most permanent residential and institutional installations.
Premium GaGa Ball Pit with ADA Gate
The Action Play Systems Premium GaGa Ball Pit with ADA Gate (from $2,050) adds ADA-compliant access to the permanent installation format — making it the appropriate choice for public parks, schools, and any facility where inclusive design is a requirement or priority. The ADA gate allows wheelchair access into the pit, ensuring the game is accessible to players of all abilities. For schools, municipalities, and nonprofit recreational organizations, the ADA-compliant version is typically the right specification.
Cornhole & Bag Toss: Ghost Boards and Four Hands
Cornhole has evolved from a simple tailgate game into a serious competitive sport — and the equipment has evolved to match. Our collection features two premium options at different price points and aesthetics.
Ghost Boards LED Cornhole Boards
The Ghost Boards LED Cornhole Boards (from $199, on sale from $500) are the standout option for backyard entertainment. Ghost Boards — the same brand behind our popular Ghost Boards LED Custom Longboard — brings their LED lighting expertise to cornhole, producing boards with built-in illumination that makes evening and nighttime play as easy and enjoyable as daytime. The LED lighting isn't a novelty addition — it's integrated into premium quality boards that deliver the regulation play surface and weight that serious cornhole players expect. At their sale price, they represent outstanding value for the combination of quality and feature set.
Four Hands Outdoor Bag Toss Set in Aged Natural Teak
For those who want the most premium and aesthetically refined outdoor bag toss experience available, the Four Hands Outdoor Bag Toss Set in Aged Natural Teak ($1,449, on sale from $1,799) is a different category of product entirely. Four Hands is known for beautifully crafted furniture and home goods — and this bag toss set reflects that design philosophy. Built from aged natural teak hardwood with a look and finish that belongs on a curated outdoor patio as much as in a backyard game setup, it's the choice for homeowners and hospitality venues who want outdoor games that double as design statements. The quality of the materials and construction means it will outlast standard cornhole boards by years while looking better doing it.
Disc Golf: GrowTheSport Champion Permanent Basket
Disc golf has seen explosive growth in participation over the past decade, and having a proper basket in a backyard, school, or park setting is one of the best ways to support that growth. The GrowTheSport Champion Permanent Disc Golf Basket ($550, on sale from $600) is a professional-grade permanent installation built to tournament specification — heavy-duty steel frame, proper chain assembly, and the dimensions that competitive disc golfers recognize as the real standard. This isn't a backyard toy version of a disc golf basket — it's the genuine article, appropriate for serious backyard practice, school courses, parks, and recreational facilities. If your goal is to develop real disc golf skills or provide a proper game experience for players who take the sport seriously, GrowTheSport delivers exactly that.
Swing Sets: Residential and Commercial Options
Swing sets remain one of the most enduringly popular pieces of playground equipment — simple, versatile, and loved by kids of all ages. Our collection covers residential options for family backyards and commercial-grade sets built for schools, parks, and public installations.
Residential Swing Sets
Our residential lineup scales across a range of sizes and configurations. The 6ft 1-Swing Residential Set ($1,175) is the most compact option — ideal for smaller backyards or younger children just starting to swing. The 8ft 1-Swing Residential Set ($1,299) offers additional height for older or larger riders. The 10ft 2-Swing Residential Set ($1,349) is the most popular family configuration — two swing positions in a single bay, offering enough capacity for siblings or friends to swing simultaneously without waiting. For larger families or those who want more capacity, we also carry the 10ft 4-Swing 2-Bay Heavy Duty Set ($2,099) — a substantial multi-bay configuration that brings playground-level capacity to a residential backyard.
Commercial Swing Sets
Commercial swing sets are engineered to a fundamentally different specification than residential models. Where residential sets are built for light-to-moderate household use, commercial sets feature heavier-gauge steel, reinforced connection points, higher weight ratings, and materials designed to withstand continuous high-frequency use across years of operation. Our commercial options include ADA-compliant configurations for inclusive playground design. The 8ft Commercial ADA Swing Set 2 Seats ($2,890) is the right specification for schools, parks, and public play areas where compliance, durability, and inclusive access are requirements. If you're planning a public or institutional installation and need guidance on the right spec for your project, our team is here to help.
Wall Climbing Gym by Wood and Hearts
Active play that builds real physical capability — strength, coordination, problem-solving, and confidence — is increasingly valued by parents who want their kids developing skills beyond screen time. The Wall Climbing Gym by Wood and Hearts ($1,242.99, on sale from $1,300) delivers exactly that.
Built from quality wood with a natural finish that looks as at home in a well-designed playroom as it does in a backyard, Wood and Hearts has created a climbing wall system that takes the physical challenge of climbing — normally reserved for indoor climbing gyms or commercial playground installations — and makes it accessible for home use. Young climbers develop grip strength, body awareness, route-reading, and the mental confidence that comes from solving physical challenges on the wall. It pairs naturally with our training equipment collection for families focused on athletic development, and it's a standout addition to any backyard or indoor play space that prioritizes active, skill-building play over passive entertainment.
Spring Riders & Playground Accessories
Spring riders are a staple of commercial playground design for good reason — they're durable, low-maintenance, endlessly enjoyable for young children, and built to withstand years of heavy use. Our spring rider selection is built to commercial playground standards throughout.
The Commercial Frog Spring Rider ($1,049) and Commercial Duck Spring Rider ($995) and Commercial Bee Spring Rider ($995) are all built to the same commercial-grade specification — heavy-duty steel construction, robust spring mechanisms, and weather-resistant finishes designed for outdoor installation in public and private settings. The character designs — frog, duck, and bee — make them particularly popular for younger children who love imaginative play. Each is appropriate for both residential backyard installations and commercial playground setups.
The Nest Saucer Swing 48” ($1,299) adds a different dimension to backyard play — a large, flat disc-style swing that can accommodate multiple riders at once, making it a natural gathering point for groups of kids. Unlike traditional single-seat swings, the saucer format invites shared play and is equally popular with younger children lying flat and older kids sitting upright. The 48” diameter provides ample space, and the construction is designed for the same durability standard as our other playground accessories.
Building a Complete Backyard Play Space
The products in our Backyard Fun & Games collection work together to create a complete outdoor experience for kids of all ages and interests. A trampoline provides the jumping and bouncing outlet that kids naturally crave. A swing set gives younger children the classic playground experience at home. A GaGa ball pit or cornhole set creates the social, competitive game experience that gets groups of kids and families playing together. A climbing wall or disc golf basket adds the skill-building dimension that parents value as much as kids enjoy. Spring riders and saucer swings round out the experience for the youngest players.
Whether you're starting with a single piece or planning a full backyard transformation, our team can help you think through the right combination of equipment for your space and the ages and interests of your riders. We carry both residential and commercial-grade options, and we have the expertise to guide both families outfitting a home backyard and institutions planning a school or park installation.
