Commercial Playground Swings
Swings are an all-time favourite for many and a staple in playgrounds and outdoor recreational spaces. These beloved pieces of equipment typically feature a suspended seat or platform attached to sturdy chains or ropes, designed to be propelled back and forth by the user's weight and momentum.
Playground swings appeal to kids of all ages, and the variety you’ll find depends on several factors: the material used for the posts, their size and shape, and the type of seat. Commercial playground swings come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and variations, from classic A-frames to modern designs that can hold multiple children at once.
Swings hold a special place in childhood memories, offering some of our earliest moments of independence. They represent where we first learn to swing on our own, transitioning from needing an adult’s push to soaring as high as we dare. Modern playground swings have evolved significantly from the traditional swinging seat. Nowadays, children can enjoy the Bird’s Nest Swing or the Cocowave Pendulum, or have a face-to-face swing on the Duo Swing with a friend. The You & Me Seat even allows two generations to share the fun together.
Swings are inclusive, catering to all abilities and ages, and they fit well in various playground environments, whether it’s a country park, school playground, campsite, or shopping centre.
Outdoor playground equipment should not just be an afterthought to entertain children; it is a useful tool to promote exercise and social interaction. This is why Morti Sport& Play has worked to become one of the UK's leading installers of commercial playground equipment. Our diverse product range offers flexibility for your playground, with equipment of all shapes and sizes. Paired with the colour options available in our safety surfacing product range, the playground you create with us will be truly inspirational.
While a lot of our commercial playground equipment is interactive and promotes exercise and fun, we also offer learning spaces that can be integrated into your school's teaching routine.

Playground swings are a timeless favourite for many, offering joy and excitement across generations.
