We have a huge deck. We have a water table, just ordered her a picnic table, have two plastic adirondack chairs ($5 at Walmart) (DH wanted two in case she has a friend over), swing (have to install), tons of bubbles, balls, and some sand toys from the $1 section at Target cause she likes to carry something always. She just got a bubble lawn mower for Easter from my parents.
She has a Cozy Coupe and Slide we can take out as well. She also has a wagon that we use for walks.
Our backyard is super hilly and grass that was there is now mostly weeds. Previous owners had renters for years. We have to take down two massive trees before we put grass so it will get more sun then shade. Quotes we got to level it out are all around $25K cause it is a big back yard and so much needs to be done, so it won't be happening.

so it's technically my ILs backyard - we rent the other side of their duplex, but they made it one huge yard. lord help whoever rents after us. anyway.
they have a huge deck and above ground pool. the little tikes grill out there. a handmade sandbox, and I bought LO a swing (that she hates this year, go figure). a wagon.
they also have this sand/water table, but use it only for water: http://tinyurl.com/omcukc4

We sit on 3/4 acre so our backyard is fairly large. There is a concrete patio thats around our inground pool then behind that is a large grass area with a big willow tree.
We have a cozy coupe, swing, bubble mower, water table, baby pool (might need a new one this summer so I can sit in it too! :P). Just bought her a radio flyer trike for her birthday. I want to get her a soccer net from my mom for her bday but DH said he can just make her one...I think I'd rather he make her a kid sized picnic table instead.

We're debating getting a wooden playground structure, not sure about it yet though. We only have a sand box in the back yard and when we want to play, we go to the elementary school down the street.

We have a fairly large backyard with a paver patio. Our garage also sits behind our fence in the backyard, so we have a section that is paved for the driveway as well. Lots of oak trees that we can't legally remove but we recently cleared away all of the other vegetation.
The boys have a really nice custom-made double wooden swing that FIL got them for Christmas. Also, they each have a Little Tikes Cozy Truck, a Radio Flyer wagon, a basketball hoop, each have a lawn mower that pops. I'm planning to also get them a picnic table soon so we can eat outside more.

We have a medium sized yard but we have a pool so we don't have much room for anything else. I would love a playset but I don't know if we have the space.
We have a water table right now!

@Smurfette: your back garden sounds exactly like ours!!! The "lawn" is basically now a patch of weeds that we keep mowing over and over. It's so rough, I'd never put LO down on it!! We are having three of our five trees chopped down in a couple of weeks to enable us to put down a lawn (it's not only the shade - the trees suck the water out of the ground too so only weeds will grow) but we will still need to get the stumps removed and then get the current "lawn" removed..... it all costs money and it's money we haven't got!!!

Water table, Little Tykes cube slide, blow-up pool. Our backyard slopes down and leads to woods. It is not fenced in.
