Giant Rope Swing

Large in scale and play value, the Giant Rope Swing allows children to swing freely on their own or with many children from a seated, lying down or standing position. The beauty of the Giant Rope Swing is that it can be a small gentle movement or a heart-pumping ride.

Play Value

Children of varying ages, abilities and strengths can work together as a team on this amazing piece of playground equipment. Communication and social interaction become a part of the play experience. The motion of the swing develops vestibular systems as well as gross motor skills of balance, coordination, stability and an awareness of space.

Merits

The social-emotional developmental benefits of the Giant Rope Swing are enormous; children must assess risk, develop confidence in their own abilities and learn to listen to, work with, and trust others. The Giant Rope Swing is a great play structure to offer higher challenge play opportunities for children. Children may imagine they are riding a wave, or swinging through the treetops on a magical play journey.

Materials

The Giant Rope Swing is framed by hand-processed Robinia pseudoacadia posts that are mounted in stainless steel brackets to allow installation in all environments. The giant rope is then suspended from chains in a V-formation.
