i'm thinking about building a wooden swing set for my grandkids (in my
backyard) but not sure what kind of wood would be best to use, any
suggestions would be appreciate.

Cheapest is pressure treated, but there are health concerns if there is
going to be body contact like tables, chairs. Swing set structure would not
have that problem. Cedar is next on the list. Mahogany and Ipe would be
strong and long lasting, but much more costly.
