At WillyGoat, our arch swings are constructed with sturdy metal frames that provide exceptional stability and support. Due to their robust construction and timeless appeal, these swings are perfect for schools, parks, and community playgrounds. 

The arch design adds an aesthetic touch to any play area, while the high-quality materials ensure safety and longevity, making them a reliable choice for high-traffic environments.

For those looking for a porch swing, our selection of porch swings includes models made from premium materials like western red cedar and recycled plastic, which are insect resistant, rot resistant, and weather-resistant.

Single Post Swings

Ideal for schools, parks, and community centers

Single-post swings are an excellent choice for maximizing playground space while providing a secure and enjoyable swinging experience. 

The minimalistic design of these swings allows for more playground equipment to be installed in the same area, making them perfect for schools, parks, and community centers with limited space. 

Constructed from durable materials, single-post swings are built to last and provide a safe, reliable play option for children of various ages. These swings are also available in materials like high-density polyethylene and steel, ensuring they are resistant to UV rays and weather elements, which is crucial for an outdoor or porch swing.

Tripod Swing Sets

Ideal for schools, community parks, and large playgrounds

Tripod swing sets offer a robust and stable swinging experience, making them ideal for high-traffic playgrounds. The three-legged design provides extra support and durability, ensuring the swings can handle continuous use by energetic children. 

These sets are perfect for schools, community parks, and large playgrounds where safety and longevity are key concerns. Their sturdy construction and versatile design make them a popular choice for any outdoor play area.

In addition to their robust build, these swing sets can be enhanced with cushions for added comfort, and natural finishes help them blend seamlessly into any outdoor space.

Tire Swings

Ideal for parks, recreational areas, and large backyards

Tire swings offer a nostalgic and exciting play experience. WillyGoat’s tire swings are made from recycled materials, providing an eco-friendly option for your backyards and play areas.

Bucket Swings

Ideal for toddler playgrounds, daycare centers, and family-friendly parks

Safety is paramount when it comes to toddler play areas. WillyGoat’s bucket swings are designed with young children in mind, featuring high backs and secure harnesses to keep little ones safe while they swing. 

These swings are perfect for daycare centers, family-friendly parks, and any playground catering to toddlers. Their secure design allows parents and caregivers to feel confident in their child's safety.

We make our bucket swings from child-friendly materials, such as molded polymer with UV protection. This ensures the seat won’t heat up in direct sunlight or fade due to exposure. It’s also easy to clean with soapy water and a sponge or cloth.

Inclusive Swings

Ideal for inclusive playgrounds, schools, and community centers

Creating inclusive playgrounds that cater to children of all abilities is essential. WillyGoat’s inclusive swing options include adaptive swings with harnesses and high backs designed to accommodate children with disabilities. 

These swings ensure every child can enjoy the playground, promoting inclusivity and equality in play. 

Our inclusive swings are ADA-compliant, providing easy access and secure support for children with mobility challenges. 

This compliance ensures that playgrounds meet federal accessibility standards, making them suitable for schools and community centers committed to providing equal play opportunities for all children.

At WillyGoat, we go a step further with our accessible swings, ensuring they’re sturdy, secure, safe, and easily accessible by wheelchairs.

Multi-Child Swings

Ideal for community parks, large playgrounds, and family-oriented spaces

Multi-child swings, like our disc or platform swings, provide a unique play experience that can accommodate multiple children at once. These swings encourage social interaction and cooperative play, making them a great addition to community parks and large playgrounds. 

They are designed to be sturdy and safe, ensuring that children can play together without compromising on safety. Swings made for commercial or public spaces need to be stronger due to higher usage rates and increased wear and tear.

Using materials like wood, steel, and wicker ensures durability and longevity despite exposure to the elements. While these swings typically require more strict safety standards, we provide step by step instructions for installation to ensure the swings are set up correctly and safely. 

Stand-Up Swings

Ideal for schools, adventure playgrounds, and fitness-oriented parks

For older children seeking a more adventurous swinging experience than can be offered by a simple porch swing, stand-up swings offer a thrilling option. These swings require balance and coordination, providing both fun and physical exercise. 

WillyGoat’s stand-up swings are built with robust materials to ensure they can handle energetic play, making them suitable for schools and fitness-oriented parks.

Saucer Swings

Ideal for backyards, community parks, and residential areas

Saucer swings, also known as nest swings, offer a comfortable and spacious swinging experience. WillyGoat’s saucer swings are perfect for solo and group play, accommodating multiple children simultaneously. 

Their design encourages imaginative play and can be a cozy spot for children to relax. These swings are well-suited for backyards, community parks, and residential areas. Saucer swings are best for kids, so consider getting a porch swing for the adults as well.
