Our Story
King Swings is a full-service provider of cost-effective, high-quality playground solutions serving a broad range of organizations. With over 35 years of experience, we are a family-owned, founder-led company rooted in the Amish tradition of unmatched craftsmanship.
Every playground we build reflects our commitment to quality, safety, and exceptional customer service. From personalized consultations and custom designs to nationwide delivery and professional installation, we make the entire process simple, smooth, and built to last.
Our headquarters in Chester County, Pennsylvania, spans 70 acres of scenic farmland—home to our CEO, Elmer King, and the heart of our family-run operation.
Quality of Products and Durability
We use the highest quality materials to build our commercial playgrounds, including Trex decking, Georgia yellow pine, and stainless steel parts. Both Commercial Pro and Commercial Flex Playgrounds have a 6-year warranty on all parts and our workmanship. A lifetime warranty covers the lumber inside the vinyl against rot, decay, and insect damage. The vinyl itself has a 20-year warranty against discoloration and fading.
Highest Standards & Safety
Certified playground safety inspectors designed our Commercial Pro Playgrounds and Commercial Flex Playgrounds. The Pro Series meets ASTM standards. The Flex Series, while not built to ASTM standards, are designed for maximum safety as well as flexibility and durability.
As parents ourselves, we understand how important safety is on a playground. We care about your children’s safety, and it shows in our craftsmanship and designs.
Full-Service, All-in-One Solution
As a full-service provider, we handle everything—from planning and design to delivery and installation—making your playground project simple and stress-free.

Manufacturing & Installation
Manufacturing
When we say our swing sets are handcrafted, we mean it. Each swing set is built by hand right here in Strasburg, PA. Our Amish craftsmen hail from all over Lancaster and the surrounding cities. Moses, Chris, and John, our manufacturing managers, work alongside their teams to ensure the highest quality and safety.
Installation
Purchasing directly from King Swings means you will get our in-house crews to deliver and install your set. Most commercial playgrounds, whether Flex or Pro, take 2 to 6 hours to assemble, though large commercial playgrounds where we are also installing playground surfacing can take several days. When the crew is finished, the playground is ready for children!
We deliver and install Nationwide , excluding Hawaii and Alaska.
