Family play backyard layout
A family backyard plan balances active play, adult seating and garden space. The deck provides a place to supervise, while a central lawn stays open for flexible activities. Put the play zone where it is visible and keep beds at the edge so they do not interrupt circulation. A path reduces worn grass between the house and the main activity area. This layout is a concept only; verify dimensions, safety clearances, drainage and local requirements before making site changes.
