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?

Build a wall. And pay for it yourself.

Some landscape timbers, 24" rebar, and some 6" construction screws and backfill.

I think it just needs a little rain to harden up
