The August reader’s poll asked you to vote for your favorite playground activity, and you picked swinging. Early swing sets were handmade of nothing but wood and rope. Prairie families often had back yard swing sets for their children’s enjoyment after the day’s work. Not only fun for the kids, these swing sets provided entertainment for parents who enjoyed watching their children play. Shortly after the advent of rubber automobile tires, someone developed tire swings. Today’s swing sets are more commonly made of metal, usually aluminum and titanium, which are durable and longer lasting. While swing sets have changed much over the years in size and shape they remain extremely popular with kids.
