The school holidays might be the best time to swing by Station Place in Werribee and that is there is a giant swing there.
Bright yellow and standing eight metres tall, SWING is a free public interactive experience designed by artist Ian Pidd and will be open to all until April 11 between 10.30am and 5pm daily.
The SWING team will strap you in with two secured wrist straps and send you to the stratosphere of excitement.
Designed for ages nine and up for people taller than 120cm, SWING can also accommodate wheelchair access.
Before swinging into Werribee, SWING has captivated audiences at the Melbourne Fringe Festival and Mental Health Month in Adelaide.
For younger members keen to join in on the fun, another specially designed swing nearby will make sure age or size is no barrier to have fun.
While it may be a lot of fun, those coming along are reminded that safety is an important part of that fun.
The SWING seat is rated to hold up to 140kg, the wheelchair platform is rated to hold up to 400kg and regardless of how much fun you might be having, do not try to stand up on the swing, or to get off while it’s moving.
Anyone with a history of heart conditions or abnormal blood pressure, or has injuries that might be aggravated by motion, has recently had surgery, or suffers from vertigo, motion sickness or dizziness should refrain from using SWING.
There are no bookings required, just swing on by.
