Description
An old children's Seesaw captured at an abandoned school playground in Cedar Point, Kansas.
A seesaw (also known as a teeter-totter or teeterboard) is a long, narrow board supported by a single pivot point, most commonly located at the midpoint between both ends; as one end goes up, the other goes down.
Seesaw, or its variant see-saw, is a direct Anglicisation of the French ci-ça, meaning literally, this-that, seemingly attributable to the back-and-forth motion for which a seesaw is known.

It looks so lonely...like it has been waiting for a child to come play for the last 20 years.
