Do you have wooden swing sets in your yard that don’t get much use? Are your children tired of playing on the same old unit day after day? Are they going to be bored all summer? If so, you may want to think about adding on some new features and accessories to renew your children’s interest in playing on it. By updating your current unit, you will freshen it up without having to buy a new unit to replace your perfectly good one. With a few little spruces, your kids will be interested in playing on their backyard playsets again and it will provide them hours of fun this summer.

One idea for a new accessory is to replace a regular swing with a new spinning disk. Your little ones sit on the disk and then when you push them they spin round and round while they are flying through the air. This accessory is a kid favorite and there may be a line to try out this new piece of equipment! It is very safe, yet very fun. The fact that they can move 360 degrees on it and not just forwards and backwards is a huge selling point for kids.

Another great option to spruce up your old wooden swing sets is adding on a glider. These plastic pieces are perfect for kids to breeze through the air on. They are super safe as well and some are even built to accommodate more than one kid at a time, so more kids can play on the unit at once. They also come in a variety of colors, so you or your child can have fun picking your favorite out. Some even have accessories on the front, like a propeller.

If you are still looking for options to add on to your wooden swing sets, a firemen’s pole is a great option. Little ones love climbing up to the top of the backyard playsets via a ladder and then wrapping their legs around the pole and sliding down to the ground on it. This accessory is especially great for kids who like to play make believe. They can pretend that their backyard playsets are firehouses and they are firemen on the way to save the day. This is a unique accessory that is often only found at parks, but you can now own one for your backyard playsets.

One final option that you should consider adding to your wooden swing sets is a rock climbing wall. This is great for active kids who love the outdoors. This piece promotes muscle growth and helps kids develop their upper and lower body strength as they climb to the top. The pegs are easy to grip and big enough to step on. This is a child favorite as well and all the kids in the neighborhood will be dying to come over and try climbing it.

These are a few great options for making your wooden swing sets appealing to your children again. There are many more options on the market as well, so spend some time investigating and asking your children what they want. You will enjoy the benefits of fixing up your backyard playsets all summer long.
