There has not been a need for a swing set on the White House grounds for some time. But with the election of President Obama, the father of two young girls, the need has arose. Malia and Sasha don’t have their puppy they were promised but they did get themselves an awesome swing set.
The swing set called Rainbow Classic was manufactured by Rainbow Play Systems Inc from South Dakota and the President and his wife choose this set because first it was made in the United States and second, it is just like a swing set that one of the girl’s friends from Chicago had.
The swing set is made of cedar and redwood ,has four swings, a slide, a fort, and a climbing wall. Also included is a picnic table with brass plates etched with the names of all 44 US Presidents. What’s the price on this swing set? About $3,500 – $4,000 but it was paid for by the President.
