Caption:
It’s important to note that older wooden playsets may have been treated with arsenic and/or creosote, and therefore, parents need to know if these chemicals were used in their manufacture.

Children love playing outside, and the two children pictured here were thoroughly enjoying their wooden swing set. The young boy was swinging by his arms from the highest beam, while the young girl was behind him on the ground, ready to jump aboard one of the swings. A Labrador retriever was prancing around the children, and all were having fun in the fresh outdoor air, and the beautiful weather.
