Modern Swing Sets: Get More Fun Under The Sun

What’s your favorite childhood memory? One of ours is definitely all those times spent on fun swing sets.

Swinging back and forth on a swing was truly an enjoyable moment, and surely despite today’s technological advances and modern kids’ toys, nothing still beats the good ‘ol wooden swing.  Swing sets are a classic toy that still is as popular as ever!

As a parent, we’re sure you have spent some memorable moments with your children riding in a swing too, and if you used to go to the nearby park to enjoy a swing ride, today you can have one right at your own backyard!

Any backyard can be a host for an outdoor swing set. Today’s outdoor playsets boast of durability, safety features, easy maintenance and upkeep, and swing sets are no different.  Today you can find simple, small swing sets, for one or two people to gently sway back and forth, such as this Gorilla Playset freestanding swing set. On the other hand, you may choose to fill in your space with a huge unit with several swings or other play sets and invite the whole neighborhood over to play! There are a multitude of swing sets that you can choose to include in your outdoor recreation area.

Swing Sets for the Active Child

Backyard swing sets are good for kids because they encourage them to play outdoors, which makes for great physical exercise. Rather than playing video games or watching television, kids can have fun under the sun in a backyard swing set. Today’s modern day swing sets are designed for more than just swinging. Some allow kids to climb up and down the swing set, crawl through tunnels, hang and swing on bars. These types of activities help the fingers, hands, arms, legs and feet grow stronger and quicker to develop coordination. There are of course simple swing sets too that both parents and children can enjoy together.

You can start out with some simple toddler swings and expand your wooden set to include other activity centers as they get older. In the meantime, a simple and safe wooden swing set can be installed in your backyard for your kids to enjoy!
