Wheelchair swings
inclusive outdoor experiences that matter
Double Run Creek is proud to partner with Wheelchair Swings to help more families, veterans, facilities, and communities discover a meaningful way to expand accessibility, connection, and outdoor enjoyment.
Wheelchair Swings builds handcrafted wheelchair-accessible swings that allow individuals to enjoy the calming, therapeutic experience of swinging without transferring out of their wheelchairs. Each swing is designed to create safe, face-to-face interaction between the rider and caregiver while supporting comfort, dignity, and inclusion.
Why We Support Wheelchair Swings
we believe accessibility should be practical, visible, and woven into the places where people gather. That is why we are helping bring more awareness to Wheelchair Swings.
For veterans, families, caregivers, therapy communities, parks, and public spaces, this is more than a product. It is a chance to create a more welcoming environment for people who are often left out of traditional recreational spaces.
At Double Run Creek,
We see this partnership as a strong opportunity because the swing helps communities:
● create more inclusive parks, campuses, and outdoor spaces
● support therapeutic movement and calming sensory experiences
● give caregivers a way to stay grounded and engaged during use
● provide a dignified experience for people who use wheelchairs
● bring visibility to accessible recreation that many people have never seen before
What makes wheelchair swings different
The rider stays in their wheelchair and rolls directly onto the platform, making the experience more accessible and less stressful for both the user and caregiver.
No Transfer Required
The swing uses a Sure-Lok securement system, safety strap controls, motion limits, and a caregiver-operated design that keeps the operator’s feet on the ground.
