Your Backyard Playground

Having a hard time visualizing what a playset will look like or how it will fit in your backyard?

Visit our Recent Installations page on our Pinterest Boards to see some of our playsets in real backyards through-out New Jersey. Some are older installations, some have just been done this month. But all of them have something in common - a very happy family with their very own backyard playground! We install swing sets all year long (even in winter) in most of NJ and some areas of NY. We install playsets in yards of all sizes and shapes, flat and sloped, large and small. 

Because our swingsets are modular and highly customizable, we can help you create just the right playset for your family. Your space, your budget, your options - a personal consultation with every customer ensures your family will get maximum enjoyment and years of fun out of your backyard playground.

Happy Mothers Day from Swingset Solutions!

 We are a family business here at Swingset Solutions, and one of the best things about running our business is that we get to work with other families - all kinds of fun, interesting families. We love watching parents play with their children on our playsets and we enjoy getting to know each family.

We meet a lot of awesome Moms in our business. So we just wanted to take this opportunity to wish every Mom that has passed through our doors over the years a very Happy Mothers Day!

Summer Swingset Safety

Make sure children are safe playing outside in the heat. Lather on the sunscreen, hats and sunglasses can be worn, hydrate often, and take turns alternatively playing inside and outside .... a half hour out on the swingset, an hour and a half inside, then a trek back out to the yard for more swinging and climbing. Huge blocks of time outside in the sun/heat is a lot for young ones, so its better to divide their outdoor play in segments. Plus it alternates childrens' play between active, energetic play and quiet, more focused activities (reading story books, puzzles, crafts, table games, blocks etc). Both kinds of play are important and alternating like this can also help prevent meltdowns, crankiness, and over-stimulation.

If possible, let your child have a favorite special "backyard cup" she uses for keeping hydrated in the heat. One with a cap and straw is ideal, or for younger tots, a sippy cup is good. Fill it with ice and water, and let him be "in charge of remembering to drink often" like a big kid! Having a fresh fruit snack in the fort or at the playset picnic table is fun too.

Tip- if the slide is very hot, hose it down before use.  

Outdoor Play

There are so many benefits of outdoor play for young children. We should try to get the kids outside everyday, whatever the weather, even for a short time. Playing on a swingset (climbing, swinging, sliding, etc) promotes childrens' critically developing gross motor skills, which encompasses movement, perceptual motor, coordination, balance, and more. Particularly for toddlers and preschoolers, swingset play offers rich opportunities for these emerging skills and developmental areas. Playing on and around your swingset also promotes cognitive development (creative and critical thinking), imaginative play, and fosters social skills and cooperative play with others. Older children benefit as well, in their ongoing physical and social development, as well as building their self-confidence, and providing an outlet for their abundance of energy. Try to get the kids outside as often as possible - to play, learn, and grow.
