Although most kids are spending a lot more time at home these days, the World Health Organization recommends at least 180 minutes of outdoor playtime for children every day to improve their health and well being. There’s no better way to help your children meet this recommendation than by installing a custom Swing Kingdom playground set in your own backyard from Cricket on the Hearth. To ensure they enjoy this equipment for years to come, add the following.

What Should You Include in Your Custom Playground Set?

1. Swing Sets

A classic part of all good playground sets, swings provide your child with a weightless feeling of flight and endless fun. Swinging is also surprisingly useful for building strength in children’s ligaments, tendons, and muscles, while even providing a mental boost as children imagine themselves soaring over the world. The best part is swings can grow with your child as they graduate from bucket to sling swings or even tire swings.

2. Towers & Slides

When talking about essential playground equipment, towers and slides are right next to swings. Children love zooming down slides again and again, and the taller the tower is, the faster they can go. Vary tower height and slide style for different ages and physical needs, and your children are sure to delight in these features for years.

3. Include a Monkey Bar Swing Beam

There is no better way to build upper body strength than the hand over hand grab on a Monkey bar.  Chin ups will build strong arms and shoulders for future sports activities like football and lacrosse.

4. Add-Ons & Games

To keep children even more entertained, include features such as a rock wall, monkey bars, or a rope to climb. You can also boost their imagination with puzzles or games, such as a giant tic-tac-toe board, ship wheels, telescopes, or sound tubes. Your child can be anything from a pirate to an astronaut with the right add-ons. Swing Kingdom offers a hose attachment for a water cannon that will keep them cool for longer play time.
