Adventure Play Sets Pathfinder Wooden Swing Set


We recently purchased this swing set for our son and give it a rating of FOUR and a HALF. We have been looking at sets for the past three years trying to find just the right one at the right price. Any of the other cedar sets we found were priced in the thousands of dollars. We are hindered by a small yard, so the set we chose had to fit.

We saw this one at Wal-Mart at a price of $399.00 and our interest was immediately peaked. It has everything we wanted, a sturdy slide, sandbox, three swings, tree house and even a little table with bench which can be used like a lemonade stand.

The reason it only gets a 4.5 rating was due to the length of assembly. It took my husband and his brother 8-10 hours to put together-although it clearly tells you to expect this. Out of all the pieces which came in the box (everything you need to assemble except sand for the sandbox) only one small washer was missing. That was phenomenal! Here is a picture of what it looked like spread out in our garage prior to assembly as well as a picture of it put together.

This is a well crafted set which we expect will hold up well over time and our two sons. Time will tell, but we're very optimistic and really like this set-as does our son!!

  1. $399 for this huge set. Crazy. I bought one from lifespanswingsets.com.au for same price but only half size. I wish I were living in U.S.
