Florida Playground & Steel Co.

The founders of Florida Playground began building quality swing sets in 1942. Our heritage as a manufacturer of park-quality, professionally designed recreational products goes back over 70 years.  Our swing sets have graced beautiful lawns, estates, parks, churches, and schools for a long time. Parents and grandparents love the classical designs and colors; children love what they do.  

Our Big Swings are really so much fun! Our customers often tell us about the pleasure they receive when giving a gift that is reminiscent of their own childhood. Read for yourself what some of our satisfied customers have to say about our timeless swingsets.

We offer a full suite of commercial products, plus a variety of residential swing sets designs: the StarGlider, the AmericaGym, the Cloud Kicker / Family Choice, and our most-requested swing set: the StarSwinger. For those who wish to have the largest swing set available, we offer the Herculean Swing by special order: 10 or 12 foot top bar, tripod legs. 

In addition to our popular swing sets, merry-go-rounds and other playground toys, we also make sturdy picnic tables, park benches, bike racks and other park site amenities for home or commercial use. We ship nationwide every day.  Call for shipping rates or to place an order.
