Any exterior house paint will work just fine.
Have found over 50 plus years in a frame house that it is best to use the most expensive outdoor paint you can afford! Unless you just love painting houses. And, the preparation is very important. Scrape as much old paint off as you can, sand really good and prime. Then two coats of the final paint. Brush it on, no spray. Now you know why it costs so much to paint a house!
I like Pat's advice. Even for a kids' garden that may only be used for 4-5 years, you don't want to have to redo it every year.
House paint tinted to the desired color.
Exterior paint. Flat or gloss. Latex or oil based. Depending you may need a primer. There is also prime + paint that will allow you to skip the step but require more coats. Link attached. Good luck
