Model Overview
The Friendly Retreat is a Summit Tower configuration that adds a spinning tire swing — a configuration that offers maximum play value for the footprint. The tire swing brings a different kind of motion than a standard swing, and the Summit Tower's climbing focus means there's always something to do. A strong value for an active family.
