Swing Bomb SF Installed Over 50 Swings All Over Town This Weekend

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

I just got this note from the folks behind Swing Bomb SF. They’ve installed 50 swings all over the city to inspire folks to go out and play. This is really awesome. Here’s the note:

People often call SF an adults’ playground… well, we’re turning it into a real pop-up playground this weekend!

We’re “swing bombing” the entire city – from edge to edge this weekend.

Starting today (on Random Acts of Kindness Day) and through the weekend…

We’re blanketing the city with over 50 swings (safely engineered and placed). Each swing is uniquely hand-painted and individually numbered.

We hope that our “swing bombing” will bring more joy, wonder to the people of SF.
Something that anyone and everyone can enjoy.

SwingBombSF is in full swing now! Check out the smiles on instagram right here.
