Seesaws, Scarborough Park in Sumner.

Children playing on the seesaws at Scarborough Park, Sumner.

Contributors note: "17 January 2005 the childrens' playground at Scarborough park in Sumner. Three of our children at a place we've been visiting, and continue to visit weekly, since 1983. These seesaws, the the merry-go-round and the notorious rockinghorse were all well loved but also feared for their ability to cause pain to children and adults of all ages."
