Sand or Power Washer for a swingset?

Our wonderful neighbors gave us a wooden swingset. It has a few years on it and I'm trying to decide the best way to clean it up. Would it be better to sand it down or use a power washer?

    Use a power washer. It's quicker and easier! After it dries for a couple of days, stain it and it will last you a long time!

    QIF you are not careful the power washer will splinter your wood. If it has small sinterthat may harm your kids I would sand and restain.

    Power wash. Faster and easier. Let dry a couple days, then stain.

    Does it really need that much attention? I have seen people that have them in their back yards for years and they don't need that kind of cleaning. All I have seen them do is hose them down each spring.
