Need help with ground under kids fort

Put in a swing set/fort in November, swings with a tower. Under the tower is the "fort". It is completely enclosed and was grass. All the grass has died, and the ground is turning to hot mush. It's turning into mosquito breeding ground. What should I put down on the ground as cover? I was gonna put down some tarp or vid queen, but what goes over it? Board, bricks, paving stones?

Does it have drainage?

I remulch our playground every six months. 50 bags of black cedar mulch. Keeps out the weeds and no water accumulation.
I'd post a picture but I need to cut my grass baaaaad.

I built a border around mine with landscape timbers stacked two high then filled with the rubber mulch.

I would put a layer of sand and then bricks or pavers. Omce you lay the bricks or pavers put some sand and sweep it off to fill in between. Cheap and easy

We have the same thing. We put down those heavy rubber mats from tracker supply, then sand. Worked out great.
