This is a “sympathetic” swing: a child of special needs can sit on one swing seat and automatically swing by the movement and pumping of the child on the other seat. The top springs add multidirectional movement, to and fro and up and down. Through this interactive swinging, the children develop

socially, physically, and mentally.

SeagullCON50111

There are two unique aspects to this fun swing: one is the top bar that rotates back and forth, and the other is the special heavy duty enclosed springs attached to the top of the chains allow the swing to bounce.

Impact Protection TilesDurable tiles that guarantee the specified resiliency and create even surfaces. The tiles are connected by integrated pins, ensuring even surface height, and avoiding unwanted movement. The tiles are installed in a masonry-style configuration without glue for fast and economical installation. The pins allow the tiles to expand and contract and prevent them from curling up on the sides. Tiles may be supplied with inserted numbers, letters, shapes or custom designs (as shown above).

SeamlessImpact protection tiles with a poured 3/8" EPDM top layer. The "Seamless" option combines the advantages of tiles (factory guaranteed resiliency, even measurements, installation for any weather conditions) with surface color and pattern choices.

The EPDM is poured on site after the protective
