Dr H.J. Foley Park is in Glebe on the corner of Glebe Point and Bridge Roads. At first when I went on these swings I was thinking there was nothing to really set them apart, an 8 perhaps, but they allow you to go so high without a squeek of complaint and as you come up you're greeted by the open sky - it was very magical.
There are 2 baby swings, three regular rigid seat swings and one flexible rubber swing (that's the one I swung on). There's also an old-style roundabout there, which is cool as they're disappearing from playgrounds, only to be replaced with sterile equipment that's way less fun and potentially even more dangerous. This swing won me over - it gets a 9!

wow you are almost at 180 degrees there beth. that's a good swing! i agree that is hard to find ones that let you go at that sort of angle w/o making a horrible/squeaking/breaking sound. you havent remarked on whether you like to do the awesome jump-off at the end of yr swing. the jump-off is key!! that is almost my favourite part!! i've been known to jump off and then get back on, just so i can jump off again. this wkend it was raining in london so there were no playgrounds for me :(
Action shots! Awesome.
