Program Description

Liberty Swings allow children in wheelchairs or afflicted by a physical impairment the chance to enjoy the joy of swinging. Liberty Swings bring able bodied and non-able-bodied children together where they can enjoy the simple pleasure of playing and swinging, like all children should.

The exhilaration of playing on a swing is something that most children enjoy, and nearly all take for granted. But for those in a wheelchair or with a physical impairment, the simple pleasure of swinging through the air was never an option until the Liberty Swing came along.
