Liberty Swing

The Frankston Liberty Swing, a device that allows people with mobility difficulties or using wheelchairs to enjoy the excitement of swinging, is one of the first installed in southeast Melbourne and only one of a handful in public playgrounds in Victoria. Frankston City residents can apply for permanent possession of a key, and those who already have an MLAK key can also access the swing.
