The Traveling rings, more commonly known as The Rings, are a set of suspended rings in Riverside Park. People travel from ring to ring for recreation and exercise, using their arms, trunk, and legs to swing from one to another.
This set—New York City's set— was installed in 2003; the children's set next to it was installed in 2005[1].
Though several Columbia students do swing, most of the ringers come from other parks of the city (and know each other only through the Rings). Veterans freely offer their expertise to newcomers.
