Sunset Beach Playground Swings

In 2014, shortly after receiving 501(c)3 nonprofit status, Friends of Lake Panorama started raising funds for a large, destination playground at Sunset Beach. More than two years later, the playground opened in summer of 2016. The new playground replaced an old slide, merry-go-round and swings.

Some expressed disappointment swings were no longer available at Sunset Beach. As plans were made to upgrade play equipment at both Shady and Boulder Beaches in 2020 and 2021, swings were included.

The Friends board decided to use some proceeds from the 2021 Beach Ball to bring swings back to Sunset Beach. Three swings were ordered August 25, 2021, with estimated delivery March 2022. Manufacturing and shipping delays led to the swing set being delivered five months later than planned. The three swings, which include two bench swings and one toddler swing, are directly west of the existing playground.
