playset

English

Etymology

play +‎ set

Noun

playset (plural playsets)

1. A themed collection of similar toys designed to work together to enact some action or event.
   • 2012, Deborah Cartmell, A Companion to Literature, Film and Adaptation:

     For instance, the cluttered, homely design of, say, the Burrow, is in itself, a masterly piece of design; […] and, crucially, it can also be translated into commercial products, such as an area of the wizarding world theme park, a training level in a video-game, and a LEGO playset that currently retails at over £60.

2. A unitary structure for children to play on, typically including a slide, and often swings, ropes to climb on, and other things found as separate structures at public playgrounds.
   • 2010, Laura Hoevener, Terri Weeks, Adventures Around Cincinnati:

     Your children can play on the small playset, climb through a hollow log, and draw a picture for all to see.
