Terrace and appreciate the hell out of the fact you’ll never have water in the basement

Terracing was my thought as well, but I like the slip and slide suggestion. Perhaps a lane on one side for a slide.

Also, I'd build the lower deck where someone decided to cheap out. Integrate extra support for that upper deck.

I’d also put a screened room under the deck - I think are kits you can get to do this.
