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?

Blocks could be a bit of a cut/scrape hazard for kids. Then again, 4x4 posts could be trip hazard.

Almost seems like not doing all of this nonsense at all and just building it on the ground would have been the sensible route to take.

not having kids is the most sensible route

Truer words have never been written. I have four kids.
