How to Transform Your Space in 2026 With a Woodplay Playset

As families step into 2026, the “backyard makeover” trend is stronger than ever. Parents are looking to create outdoor spaces that feel like an extension of the home, a place for kids to play, imagine, climb, and burn energy, and a place where adults can relax, recharge, and enjoy being together. If refreshing your backyard is on your list of New Year goals, a playset is one of the best investments you can make, and the Jack & June Haven and Haven II playsets make that transformation both exciting and achievable.

Turn Your Backyard Into a Family Hub in 2026

This year, families are prioritizing time outdoors and unplugged play. A backyard built for fun, connection, and creativity helps kids stay active and gives parents peace of mind knowing their yard is a safe, inviting place to explore.

Choosing the Right Playset for Your Yard Size

Whether you have a compact yard or a more open space, the Haven and Haven II offer flexible configurations. The multiple entry points and optional deck heights allow you to position the playset to fit your yard’s layout without sacrificing play value. For smaller yards, the Haven keeps things simple and efficient; for larger yards or growing families, the Haven II offers expanded space and versatility.

Simple Backyard Upgrades That Complete the Look

Once your playset is in place, you can elevate the entire area with a few easy enhancements. Adding mulch or rubber safety surfacing under and around the playset creates a safer play zone while giving the space a clean, finished appearance. Even small touches like planters, stepping stones, or a simple landscape border can help define the area and make the play zone feel intentional and polished.  

For kids, consider incorporating the Convertible Kids Picnic Table & Sandbox. This clever 2-in-1 piece works as a functional picnic table for crafts and snacks, but the top opens to reveal a hidden sandbox, perfect for sensory play and imaginative fun. It’s a great way to extend the play space without taking up extra room in the yard.

And of course, a backyard makeover isn’t complete without a comfortable spot for parents to relax while the kids explore and play. You can create a peaceful retreat by adding items such as a hammock swing, Adirondack chair, or an adult picnic table. These additions make the yard feel welcoming and purposeful, turning the space into a place where the whole family can unwind, connect, and enjoy time outdoors together.
