About Us

Since 1951, Creative Playthings had been creating premium wooden swing sets for thousands of families.

Our solid reputation is built on 50 years of providing our customers quality wood play products at great prices. In the early years, we were a primary supplier of wooden play products to schools, day care centers and other institutions.

From our beginning as a small woodworking operation to our modern production facilities encompassing multiple plants with the latest automated equipment, one thing has stayed the same our commitment to quality, safety and innovation.

Creative Playthings pioneered the use of steel reinforcement plates in swing sets, the nylon bushing swing hanger, and other innovations too numerous to mention.

Today, these features and components are standard equipment on nearly all quality wooden swing sets Long recognized for their superior quality and value, Creative Playthings brand swing sets have been sold by national chains and high-quality independent retailers throughout the US and abroad. It is safe to say that there are more Creative Playthings brand swing sets in backyards than any other make.

As an active member of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Creative Playthings helped develop the safety standards for residential swing sets that are used today by both the ASTM and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSSC). Our sets are built to these exacting standards. When a play set carries the Creative Playthings logo, you can be sure it includes the finest materials and workmanship.
