Different Amish settlements have their quirks and local traditions. Adams County, Indiana's Amish has plenty: yodeling, a unique Swiss dialect, and open buggies to name a few. But here's another lesser-known one to add to the list: elaborate playgrounds.
Amish playgrounds in Berne are a bit more elaborate than in most places
In some Amish settlements you might see a tire-swing hanging from a tree in someone's yard or perhaps a rusty see-saw in a schoolyard. But drive around Berne, Indiana's Amish settlement and you'll notice elaborate wood-crafted playground sets with tall, twisty plastic tube slides. 
This is another one that I saw and captured a poor photograph of from my car (I felt a little funny driving around taking playground pictures, so this is just a quick snapshot out my car window). I didn't see these playsets in just two locations, I saw them at dozens of Amish homes in the area. Next time I am visiting I'll make a point to inquire, but my guess is that they are locally made and an example of capitalism and good salesmanship combining. An Amish woodworking enterprise in the area probably makes them and is good at persuading parents that they need them and, presto, they have sprung up everywhere! The playsets are a combination of capitalism working as it is supposed to and good, old-fashioned wholesome fun for children.

Yup! Lots of fun for kids, and I'm sure they're made very well! Thanks for sharing, Kevin! If you don't already have a set, maybe there's someone in your area that makes them+you could get one for Aster. She's growing so fast such a cutie! Blessings always, Carol

maybe they are crafted by the Amish and tis creates great advertising by having ones children and or relatives with these beautiful things in yards
