Back when I was a kid in '72 and we had to walk uphill both ways to the 
playground, we had a 30 year old layer of cracked asphalt under the 
swings, and we all grew up fine!  'Cept for me with a big-assed scar on 
my forehead from a failed running belly-flop into the swing.  Builds 
character, dang it;  and I have a convenient reference line for where to 
part my hair.

Really... I think I heard federal safety guidelines for today's 
over-protected kids call for like 12 or 18 inch "pit" of mulch under 
equipment.  Which seems like what I've seen at current public 
installations.  Seems like without some good drainage plan, it could 
turn into a nasty swap-like pit.
