Swings - Push Me Higher

These amazing swings are for anyone who can remember pushing so high you were lifted off the seat, or swinging double with your sister, or twisting your rope to give youself a hugh spin in the air. Notice only plank swings. No painful hip huggers.

While not technically a swing, this big hammock swayed along the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Funded by the Awesome Foundation, this beauty only stayed for two weeks in 2010.
