Well, you don't want it treated with any preservative, as that will give horrid splinters and buckets of puss in the little ones puddies.
Ash would be nice and is the traditional material for rake/broom handles and such stuff. You should be able to get ash hand railing.
Don't get oak (see the bit about puss above ^)
Beech would be nice, but I imagine it would be costly in a long length.
