NJ Swingsets
$ 2,999.00
The Playground One Classic Playcenter is our entry point into the Playground One lineup—a solid cedar swing set that gives you the core features families actually use without the extras that drive up price. You get an 11' wave slide, rock wall with climbing rope, 2 belt swings, and a trapeze bar, all built on 4x6 cedar timbers with a 10-year warranty.
Why families pick this set:
Key Specs:
This set works best for families with kids roughly 3-10 years old who want quality construction without paying for features they won't use. The 4'10" deck height is tall enough to be exciting but not so high that it keeps parents up at night.
If your yard is smaller than 30' x 28', this set probably won't work safely—call us and we can talk through options that might fit better.
The timber size matters. A lot of sets in this price range use 4x4 posts. The Classic Playcenter uses 4x6 timbers—same as Playground One's $5,000+ sets. That means less wobble, more stability, and parents end up on these things more than they expect.
Cedar over pine. Pine is cheaper but splinters more and needs treatment. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects. After 20+ years selling both, I've seen the difference in how they hold up in NJ weather.
Vinyl-dipped chains. Small detail, but the swing chains are coated so they don't pinch fingers or get burning hot in summer sun.
Assembled Dimensions: 18'6"W x 16'6"D x 11'6"H
Recommended Safety Zone: 30'6" x 28'6" (that's the set dimensions plus 6' clearance on all sides—industry standard for safe play)
Measure twice. Most Bergen County yards can handle this, but if you're tight on space, call us. We can sometimes reconfigure the swing beam position to make it work.
Yes—if you've put together IKEA furniture, you can do this. Budget a full weekend with a helper. The instructions are clear and everything is pre-cut and pre-drilled.
If DIY isn't your thing, we offer professional installation throughout New Jersey. We've installed thousands of these—typical install takes our crew about 4-5 hours.
With basic maintenance (annual inspection, occasional sealing if you want), cedar swing sets typically last 15-20+ years in NJ. The 10-year lumber warranty covers structural issues, but honestly, I've seen 25-year-old cedar sets still going strong.
The swing beam is rated for 250 lbs per swing position. The deck and structure can handle multiple adults—I've stood on plenty of these with customers to demonstrate stability.
Yes. The swing beam has 3 positions, and you can swap the trapeze for a tire swing, glider, or other accessories. The deck can also accept add-ons like a steering wheel or periscope.
Generally 3-10 years old. Younger kids (2-3) can use it with supervision, and older kids will still swing, but around age 10-11 they typically outgrow the deck area. The swings work for any age.
Main difference is timber size. Playground One uses 4x6 beams standard; Gorilla uses 4x4 on most comparable models. Both are quality brands—Playground One just specs heavier lumber at this price point.
