I don't know what you mean by a full-size swing set, but in this same park the pole that the swings hang from is at least ten feet off the ground. But the ground is covered with that sissy mulch...

This is what I consider to be full sized. Most of the swings around here are for toddlers and have chains that are maybe 3 feet long.
