Playsets & Swing Sets for Older Kids

The simple joys of swinging, running, and playing outside appeal to kids of all ages. Finding the perfect swing set or playset for older kids is a matter of finding a set that’s sturdy enough to hold their weight — and interesting and exciting enough to hold their attention.

What Makes a Good Playset for Older Kids?

All Adventure World Play Sets are designed with eye-catching colors and built to be sturdy for decades of rambunctious play. While ALL of our playsets are safe for older kids, there are some features that make certain swing sets perfect for older children.

Here’s what we recommend when designing or choosing a swing set for older kids:

The safety of your children is always the most important thing to consider, and when they are older, playset quality is even more crucial in ensuring safe play. You need to guarantee that the swings can support their weight and that the walkways and towers can accommodate their high-energy play. When you design with Adventure World Play Sets, you get the highest construction quality backed by a no-hassle warranty.

The bigger the slide, the more fun they’ll have. Older kids love to twist and go fast down their slides — and that’s exactly what our extra tall and twisty slides let them do! While basic slides are great for younger kids, playsets for older kids NEED an epic slide or two.

When those elementary school growth spurts hit, your kids will be sprouting up faster than sweet corn in the summer. To keep up, you need a swing set that gives you the option for adjustable swings to accommodate your growing kids. You should also have stainless steel, heavy-duty swing hangers as an additional safety feature.

From a fantasy standpoint, taller towers let your kids feel like they are high up in their lookout, surveying their domain. From a practical standpoint, taller towers are necessary for our ultra-tall and ultra-fun 9-foot slides! When looking for a playset for older kids, get one with high towers, and they’ll be sure to love it.

As kids get older, their imaginations grow and the way they have fun in the outdoors changes. A great playset for older kids fosters this by giving them lots of accessories to kickstart their growing imaginations. Other great accessories encourage athleticism and acrobatics. Some of our best accessories for bigger kids include:

• A lemonade or ice cream stand
• Monkey bars
• A working spotlight
• A trapeze ring climber
• A ship’s wheel or steering wheel
