World's first playground swing?

This play equipment,  constructed in 1923 in Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire, is believed to be the first playground swing set. It was designed by owner Charles Wicksteed, as part of his vision to encourage play as part of families' health and well-being.

I thought folks had been swinging for centuries and was surprised that this type of equipment dates back only 90 years. It looks rather perilous but in those days lawsuits were less prevalent and injured kids just had to suck it up.
