Question Playground words

Hello, all! Have been better about using Spanish with the kids, but only have the vocab of about a 3 or 4 year old. I could use some help with the words for things we do at the playground (which any 3 or 4 year old would know, but I don't, lol).

I am Puerto Rican (in case that makes a difference in which word to use. For example, we use guineo instead of banana for banana)

Thanks in advance for your help with the following:

playground swing
playground slide
monkey bars

drowningblue

What I know:

A swing is a "columpio"

A slide is a "tobogán"

I'm not sure about the "monkey" part, the bars are called "barras".

I'm sure they have regional names, so in Mexico:

swing = columpio
slide = resbaladilla
monkey bars = pasamanos
