With Spring now pushing back the dreary days of winter, it is time to begin our yearly update of the family-favorite swing sets, playhouses, or playgrounds King Swings offers!
What is A Family Favorite Swing Set
Family Favorites are our best-selling swing sets. This list only counts standard designs (though we love customizing playsets and playhouses!). All the swing sets or playhouses on this list are excellent starting points for your own swing set shopping journey, especially if you have no idea where to begin.
Let's quickly review where 2024 ended to see which sets gained or lost positions in 2025.
5) The Cottage Playhouse
4) The Wave Rider
3) The Palace Playhouse
2) Cubby's Fort
1) Sea King
Welcome to the list! The Overlook Playhouse Swing Set launched in 2024 and has already shot up to number five.
And it should be no surprise that this backyard playhouse has become a family favorite. With dual racing slides, a spacious double deck WITH a playhouse on the 7’ section, swings, climbers, and more, this playhouse swing set has so much to do!
Climbing up to the number four spot, the Cottage Playhouse is the classic playhouse swing set. With a lovely 6’ x 6’ playhouse, slide, monkey bar swing beam, and a staircase for easy access, this modern playhouse includes everything your kids want in a nice, tidy package that doesn’t take up a lot of space.
Cubby’s Fort swing set moves around on our best-selling swing set list, but it is always one of our top performers. This backyard swing set for your kids has made the top five list for at least five years in a row.
The big reason for this is that it is the definition of a classic swing set. A comfy tower, monkey bar swing beam, rock wall/ladder combo, a slide, and more combine to put the play in the playground while not dominating your backyard space.
The Wave Rider swing set is one of my personal favorites among our standard designs, so I am glad to see it climbing the list.
There is so much to love about the Wave Rider vinyl swing set. Its 7’ deck height makes it perfect for older kids or a set that grows well with your younger children. Two slides, a challenging rock wall, four four-position high beam, and a tire swing under the tower are a few of the highlights.
Overall, the Wave Rider is an exciting swing set that is impressive to behold, tall enough to be relevant year after year, and packed with all the exciting features that lend to creative play on a beautiful day.
The Sea King’s dynasty lives on. Taking the top spot year after year, the Sea King is the best-selling vinyl swing set.
There is so much to love about the Sea King. The spacious 6’ x 8’ tower provides ample room for all the little ones and their friends. The staircase lets tiny ones and even grandma access the tower with ease. The rock wall adds some challenge, while the three-position swing beam, slide, and fun accessories round out the fun. On top of that, the Sea King is so easily customized, and its unique layout fits so many spaces.
We expect the Sea King to be number one for the rest of the year!
Our best seller lists showcase some of our best features, but that doesn’t mean the standard design is perfect for your family. With King Swings, you can customize any of our best-sellers or other standard playset designs.
The set you dream up and design is the best for your family. Use our best-sellers as a springboard to get your ideas flowing.
