The SportsPlay 2-Bay ADA Swing is a heavy-duty commercial wheelchair-accessible swing designed to bring the movement and enjoyment of swinging to children and users who may not be able to use a traditional playground swing seat. This configuration includes two wheelchair platform swings, creating two dedicated accessible swinging opportunities within one commercial swing system.
Each ADA Platform Swing features an easy-access ramp and is designed to accommodate both juvenile and adult wheelchairs. With a weight capacity of up to 700 pounds per platform, the design allows users to enjoy the swinging experience while remaining in their wheelchair rather than transferring into a conventional swing seat.
Providing two wheelchair platforms can be especially valuable in busy school, park, and community environments. Rather than offering only one accessible swing position, this configuration provides additional capacity and opportunities for users to experience swinging alongside others.
Swinging provides a unique movement experience that can add valuable sensory variety to a playground. The rhythmic back-and-forth motion offers vestibular input while creating an activity that can be both exciting and enjoyable. By incorporating accessible swinging into the overall playground design, facilities can broaden the range of play experiences available to children with different mobility needs.
The complete system stands 8 feet high and is designed to meet ASTM and CPSC guidelines. Its substantial commercial construction is engineered for stability and long-term performance in high-use playground environments.

Accessible Design & Commercial-Grade Durability
The 2-Bay ADA Swing is designed around accessibility while maintaining the strength required for commercial playground environments. Each wheelchair platform includes an easy-access ramp and accommodates both juvenile and adult wheelchairs, with a capacity of up to 700 pounds.
The complete swing system weighs approximately 615 pounds and uses permanent in-ground mounting. It requires a 32' x 32' use zone, with installed dimensions of approximately 20' x 8' x 6.5'.
Because wheelchair-accessible swings require thoughtful site integration, the surrounding playground design is especially important. Accessible routes, surfacing, approach areas, clearances, equipment spacing, and entry and exit points should all be considered when determining placement. Installation should follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable playground safety and accessibility requirements.
Ideal Applications
- Child care centers and preschools
- Elementary schools
- Parks and municipal playgrounds
- Accessible and inclusive playgrounds
- Community and recreation facilities
The 2-Bay ADA Swing is a meaningful addition to playgrounds designed to provide a broader range of play opportunities. With two wheelchair platforms instead of just one, facilities can expand accessible swinging capacity and provide opportunities for more users to experience the movement, sensory input, and enjoyment that make swinging such a classic part of the playground.
For schools, parks, child care centers, and community facilities looking to strengthen the accessible components of their playground, the SportsPlay 2-Bay ADA Swing combines two wheelchair-accessible platforms, substantial commercial construction, and a design built specifically for long-term public use.
