I often get asked the question, "Where can I find those Mommy and me swings?"
​I love that this is such a common interest! It just goes to show, us mamas want to join in on the fun! So far, we have found 5 Tandem swings in and around Rochester. Here they are!

This Mommy and Me Swing is by far the best around and well worth the drive to Walworth! This swing is perfect for caregivers and young children. The rest of the park doesn't disappoint either! There is a sandbox with digger and a trail with fairy houses!

Genesee Valley Park is home to the closest tandem swing within city limits. This particular swing is found on the playground off of Genesee St. Use "Genesee Valley Park Playground For All Children" in Google Maps to find this swing at Genesee Valley Park.

Here is a unique tandem swing, great for kids of all ages and abilities. Strap in the child to the adaptive swing while the adult can stand and rock his/her body to move the swing.

You may have noticed Kid's Canyon on most of our playground lists - it just has it all, including a Tandem Swing!

There are several playgrounds within Sweden Town Park. One of them is brand new! The other two are much smaller and less frequented but they both have their own tandem swing!

Within the newly renovated playground at Phelps Community center you'll find a variety of swings including a baby swing, adapted swing and tandem swing!

Here's a list of the playgrounds built or renovated in 2019 and 2020

​This has always been one of our favorite parks to visit and the new playground makes it even better! There is a large splash pad, a beach and three playgrounds all within walking distance. The playground nearest the splash pad reopened recently with new play equipment mixed in with some of the old. The playground is very large and the equipment is great for such a large age range. It is⁣ $7 per vehicle to enter the park. The visit is well worth the $7, however, the fee can be avoided by loaning a State Park Pass from the Library or visiting outside of the collecting hours.

​There's a second Jack's Place! This one is within Webster Park across the lake and pier (intersection of Lake Rd & Holt Rd). This new playground opened in the late summer of 2020 and is very similar to the one at Rothfuss Park with a couple new additions. The dinosaur bone digging area contains blue rubber mulch rather sand- Bring some shovels for the kids! This one is also in direct sun so pack those sunhats. Check out the JACK Foundation Facebook page and jack-foundation.org to learn more about why these playgrounds came to be and how you can help. 

The Henrietta Rec Center finished up their fenced in and padded-play-surface playground early 2020.  However, it is sometimes unavailable to the public so that it can be used by the rec center's camps. Call ahead before visiting or plan to go to the nearby Veteran's Memorial Park if this one is in use. 

This playground in Spencerport was renovated in June 2019. THe playground is more modern than the last but the padded play surface remains. The splash pad located behind the playground remains untouched!

Built in June 2019, this playground and splash pad combo was beautifully done. The area was built with all ages and abilities in mind and is guaranteed to entertain for several hours!

With a recent addition during the summer of 2019, there are now two areas for different age groups at Phelps Community Center.  There is a tandem swing, multiple slides and lots of space to run around.

With the grand re-opening in October 2019, the equipment at Ellwanger Barry was replaced with a newer, more modern, items. Not everything has changed though -The community toys and sandbox remains as well as the lack of bathroom facilities. 

The new playground at Ridge Park had its grand opening in November 2019, with final additions added in early 2020! The playground has limitless wheelchair accessibility and fun for all!

This is a brand new "Game Time" playground built in October 2020. It has a beloved tunnel/slide as well as a fun climbing tunnel on the ground. There is an adaptive swing, baby swing and regular swings. There is a butterfly garden near by as well as the Erie Canal Heritage Trail just a short walk away.
Meridian park is just off the 590 Winton Road exit but the playground can be hard to find as it is tucked behind a business complex. Park in the parking lot off of Summit Circle Drive.
