    Any type of exterior waterproof construction adhesive would work. Come in caulking tubes. There are too many brands to name here. All are labeled for their use. Check out Menard's, Lowes, and Home Depot. ask an associate for assistance. Tell them what you want to do and they'll help you with choices.

    I have found that E-6000 in a tube works for most everything I glue.

    I would use an epoxy for outdoor use and resin.

    If this is for outdoors...you may need something more sturdier - screws and bolts of some sort. It's hard to tell without seeing a photo of the play area. Just remember, that the outdoors will have weather changes...and outside of epoxy, plastic & wood expands and contracts with the elements outside. Not even Gorilla glue will survive because the plastic is not porous enough, to attach to wood. It's like oil and water don't mix .

    I use E600 for everything...and if you wet your finger you can smooth it perfectly But keep finger wet
