Presidential daughters' swing set removed from White House, donated to DC organization
U.S. President Barack Obama walks past a new swing set as he departs the White House for Marine One on March 6, 2009 in Washington, DC.
It was an unofficial landmark on the White House grounds, but the swing set installed for Sasha and Malia Obama has a new home.
A moving truck rolled in to the compound at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to remove the wooden structure and to take it to a D.C. charity, CNN reported.
President Barack Obama's administration offered the swing set to President-elect Donald Trump who has a young son, Barron, aged 10, but Trump's family declined it.
