Swings
Swings
Swings are a core feature of outdoor playgrounds, offering a familiar and engaging play experience that supports movement and enjoyment. Caloo supplies playground swings for schools, nurseries, parks and community spaces, providing durable outdoor equipment designed for regular use in shared play environments.
Playground swings can be installed as individual units or as part of wider playground layouts. Available in a range of materials and configurations, swings are suitable for both traditional playgrounds and more natural or landscaped play spaces.
What Are Playground Swings?
Playground swings are outdoor play features designed to move back and forth, providing a simple and enjoyable movement experience. They are widely recognised as a staple of playground design and are suitable for a broad range of age groups and settings.
Swings are commonly positioned within open play areas where clear access and safe spacing can be maintained.
Supporting Active Outdoor Play
Swings encourage active outdoor play by offering rhythmic movement that is easy to understand and widely appealing. They are often included alongside other playground equipment to provide variety and balance within a play space.
Their simple design makes swings suitable for a wide range of playground layouts, from compact school grounds to larger community parks.
