I also want to raise the bed where our swingset is and put some kind material in it similar to sand but without the cat-attraction features. Maybe some sort of chopped up rubber? Gravel seems a little hard. Any suggestions on a good playground "mulch" material?

Pea gravel has rounded edges and if you bed it about 6" deep, is going to be a fairly forgiving surface should the kids fall on it. There are all kinds of potential issues arising from the use of rubber, ranging from odor to killing off of surrounding vegetation from any water run-off.
