"Step right up, folks! Step right up! Welcome to the YEE-SAW Carnival! Featuring the sentinel of all see saws, the behemoth of balance beams, the giants of jungle gymnasiums, the monster of monkey bars, - the YEEEEEEEE-SAW! "
Standing at nearly 30' tall with a 35' wingspan, inner spinning merry go round seats (safety belted of course), springs, lights, monkey bars, dance platforms and ACTION! Fun for the kid in all of us.
A menagerie of playground equipment that has outgrown the schoolyard and matured to cast smiling glows on children and adults alike. Made out of wood, metal, and sweat this machine will launch you into the heavens and bring you back down safely again and again.
