How about a rose trellis? That's not a joke.
IE stick with a good anti climb fence which will work just fine as a
trellis. Kids aren't going to mess with a rose bush, and even if they did
the fence is still there.
IF the fence is a problem before the roses grow to cover it, then you can
use a wood lattice about 3 or 4 inches out from the fence, or even against
it. The gate can be the regular fence gate covered with a lattice to match.
Within a year all signs of the fence will be gone.
Depending on your climate, fences can be very easy to camouflage.
