Can you share what you got? Something folding might be doable - we don’t have a lot of space
Our indoor playset is from EZ Play, their customer service has been amazing! I contacted them because my kids broke a piece (playing with it in a way they shouldn’t have been) and they responded immediately with figuring out if it needed to be replaced and then ordering a replacement. Some other indoor options are a Swedish Ladder or Pikler triangle.
These look great! I think DD is a little big for a pikler triangle etc. Did you get the big or small one? Is it a PITA to fold? How “deep” is it when folded? It would have to go in her bedroom which is small, I’m going to do some measuring today to see if it could work

Ours have been closed since March. Thankfully we do have a play set in the backyard. I also bought a Swedish ladder for inside and they’re on that all the time
I really hate that we can’t go to the park though.

Our parks/playgrounds reopened sometime in May or it may have been the beginning of June. But they kept splash pads closed ALL summer long. We're in Florida, so by June we usually only go to the splashpads during the summer because it's way too hot to spend much time outside if you're not in water. Hoping the splashpads and parks remain open this spring/summer.

We have the big one for our two 7yos. Its easy to fold-there’s wooden knob screws that you hand screw so once it’s assembled there’s no tools needed to fold and unfold. BUT it does need to be anchored to the wall. It sticks out less than 1ft. There are some YouTube videos showing how it sets up.
Ours reopened in the late spring/early summer. We went today for the second or third time since then (we usually just play on our swing set in the yard). We were the only ones there but had masks in case anyone showed up, plus it’s huge for distancing (two separate play sets).
A gaggle of unmasked moms and kids showed up together and then the kids proceeded to follow my kids around with no distance and leave the rest of the playground unoccupied. It was so freaking frustrating and we had to leave early 😔
This is the biggest reason I haven’t let my boys back on the playground. I did last Weds to test it out (since we were with friends and they were allowed to if it was empty)...sure enough a bunch of kids with no masks or concept of distancing showed up (we wear out masks religiously when out because my youngest has bad asthma). Then I had to deal with my oldest not understanding and not wanting to get off (he has ASD so I knew this might be a challenge, even more so since he hasn’t been able to play at the playground since March).

Ours were closed for a long time...I think from March to April. We were in an apartment with no yard, so I feel your pain. We’d find places to walk, scooter and ride bikes, like the plaza of a business complex where nobody was working and there would usually be stairs or an amphitheater for the kids to run around in #citykids. Now they are open and the kids wear masks. We mostly go to our very unpopulated neighborhood park which is tucked away out of view.
Ours closed and the playgrounds at the parks didn’t open until fall. Schools and school playgrounds are still closed.
We ended up buying an indoor play gym and it’s been a lifesaver. My kids play on it every day. It folds up to store so it’s not constantly taking up space in the middle of the floor.

You didn't ask me but I have this climbing triangle with all the extra boards and its been a life saver. I bought it right before the playground closures last winter.
It fits under our bed. It entertained my almost 5 year old and 15 month old (supervised) all weekend. My oldest can play on it alone but I don't trust my youngest yet. That said, it looks like this shop has new pieces that look tempting.
