Wordless Wednesday Unusual Tree at Lake Couchiching Park

I've always loved this tree at Lake Couchiching Park in Orillia, Ontario. Usually when I visit this tree there are children playing on it. It is right beside the playground and if I were still a child I'd be right there exploring all the branches.  Over the years it has been cut back and trimmed. As you can see in the first picture it appears to be growing slightly out of the ground and growing sideways.
