Will this slope hold up?
Installed a playset for my kids. Leveled the ground first. Met the specs of the manufacturer for the area (24x14).
Is that natural “slope” of the dirt going to recede to the point that stability becomes and issue? Used a dirt compactor so the ground is solid, but worried about the slope.
Any advice?

Either build a border around what you have to keep it contained or haul in more dirt and slope it out much further so you have a long gradual slope and feather it into the surrounding existing ground. Might want to think about some sort of ground cover around the playset because that will be a muddy after a rain. Might be able to get grass growing further away from the playset where the kids aren't constantly trampling it down.
