Looks to me as if you could make it as a "modular" center section so that by simply inverting it you could switch from layout 1 to layout 2 depending on how the kids are reacting to the equipment. A bit more work but it does get you the best of both worlds.

All else being equal I also favour layout 2.

In case I wasn't clear about the "modular" portion it's the portion in red.
