What) Langenburg
is a small town of just over 1000 that is situated at the
intersection of Highway 8 and the Yellowhead. It is home to
the world's largest swing, named Goliath, and is the last
incorporated Saskatchewan community before the Manitoba
provincial border. (1)
Goliath
stands 33 feet tall and is 22 feet wide at the base. It was
built in 1990 by local area farmer Ken Mack who used over two
tons of steel in it's construction. The swing pivots are 2
Chevy car differentials, the seats are from old horse drawn
farm equipment and sand fills the counter weight arms at the
top, making the movement of the swing easy to accomplish.
Goliath can rise to 25 feet high. (2)
Where) It's on the north side of Highway 16 at the Langenburg Rest Area
Why) Even
though this was the last scheduled Buckys on our trip it was
the one I was looking forward to the most.
