Swings, spinners & seesaws

Who swings & spinners suits

The moving favourites, swings, spinners, carousels, seesaws and springers, cover everything from toddler bucket seats to teen and adult spinning play. Most sites mix two or three of these families around a play system rather than choosing just one.

Ages, footprint and fall height

Ages

Designed to be shared across ages, from toddlers through to adults, with individual products stating their own age recommendation.

Footprint

A freestanding footprint, most sites fit one comfortably into a corner of an existing play space, with the exact size and safety zone stated on the product page.

Fall height

Fall heights vary by model, generally in the low-to-moderate range; the exact figure is stated on each product page and sets the required surfacing depth under AS 4422.

What it costs

As a guide, single freestanding pieces typically run about $2,000 to $10,000, ex GST. A full connected system built around several pieces typically moves into the range where a primary-school multi-activity system delivered and installed typically runs about $60,000 to $120,000, ex GST. Every fixed-price quote covers the equipment, compliant softfall surfacing to AS 4422, site preparation, delivery, installation by our own crew and independent compliance certification at handover.

Surfacing to pair it with

A single freestanding piece still needs a compliant softfall zone sized to its fall height under AS 4422, mulch, turf or wet-pour rubber all work, and the product page states the exact fall height to design the zone from.

Read our surfacing guide, or compare wet-pour rubber, sand & mulch and synthetic turf.
