I'm looking at putting in a kids playset in the backyard. I'm concerned about water accumulation and was wondering what other beyonders have done about drainage?

I did some research and found this:

Not sure if these are available at the local home depot or not? Anyone have any suggestions?

We made sure the slope was towards the drainage channel, keeps the grass from turning into a swamp. Had to put plastic sheet under the sandbox, otherwise water would come up.

I'm putting in a large swing/slide set so I need to level the ground

We've got something like that. Work with your lawn's drainage and level the structure itself.
