  • There is the patented flying saucer swing which has the reinforced inner webbing and can hold up to 2 kids at a time
  • Kids can rest safely inside the saucer, swing, relax and chill out
  • The saucer uses a 4-point chain hanger which is designed for better stability compared to common chain systems that are 2 point only

  • Can entertain as many as 8 kids at the same time each with a maximum 100 lbs each (Supports up to 800 lbs total)

  • The slide is larger and durable 6-foot 6-inches (78 inches) and is a one-piece blow-molded slide for easy assembly

  • Please note also that it meets / exceeds all ASTM safety standards
  • The price when last seen on sale was in the $200 to $280 region which of course can be double checked below.

Main Pros Outlined:

  • A 2 person air glider is included which is always a great way to have fun with a best friend
  • Has 2 blow molded seats which are strong and sturdy
  • It also has a longer 78 inch raised slide which is 6 foot 6 inches long – longer than many others

  • The patented flying saucer swing is great for relaxing/ resting, chilling out and of course swinging
  • It includes the 4-point chain hanger for the saucer for extra stability as they swing when many others only have 2
  • The saucer nest swing is also wider at 45 inches than many others we have seen in the market
  • Assembly time is a lot lower than larger wooden sets and should take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to complete (trampoline is additional time)
  • Of course, it has the blow molded seats which are wider for extra comfort and mobility and a fair price overall

Main Cons Outlined:

  • No trapeze swing is included which will be a disappointment for certain children
  • The overall assembly takes a lot longer to do and needs careful planning and attention to detail
  • As it is larger, you will need more space in your yard to accommodate it.
  • There is no mini see saw either that several other models can offer and the screw caps should be better
  • It could be more slightly sturdier overall especially the frame when it comes to heavier children
  • No shoe loop swing included which again will disappoint some children
  • Please note that there are no anchors included so this will be an added expense to you – ideally these should be included in the overall package
  • The trampoline is more difficult than you would think to assembly and requires a lot of strength and power
  • Missing small parts have also been reported by a select few which is extremely annoying and delays assembly time.
  • More care and attention should be taken by the packing department to ensure all the correct parts are 100% included.
  • Lacks the superior stability of wooden swing sets and replacing with toddler swings should be easier to do
  • Price level tends to be $200+ but is definitely worth it if you have the extra money to spend.

  1. The sports power mountain view swing set is a good buy for the backyard especially if you have several kids and don’t want to spend too much money. Good to know the size and dimensions involved and the price is actually a lot lower than anywhere else we have seen so will be saving a few bucks here – awesome! 

    • That’s great news and many thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave your feedback. It is very much appreciated. Take care, Ryan.

  2. Our kids have been asking me for the Mountain View for  an upcoming birthday so I was checking reviews and came across your site and your review. Having this sportspower mountain swing set at home for our kids to play with certainly has a lot to offer and it should be adventurous enough for our kids going by the images. The brand to be fair of sportspower is reliable from what I hear with all it’s functionality but I have a question to ask because we have seen it in my friend’s back yard, can I install the set myself without having to call the person that will do the installation in my back yard?

    • Yes, you can install this Swing set yourself without having to hire anyone else to do it. Just follow the steps outlined in the assembly manual provided.

    • Sorry, that is not possible. Assembly needs to be as it is outlined in the images which works great for the kids. Thanks for taking the time to visit and best of luck!
