A turning uplift apparatus is provided which enables the user to utilize the device as a piece of playground or backyard play equipment commonly known as a see-saw. The apparatus includes a frame structure means, a user support means, and a user engagement means. The user support means pivotally mounts to the frame structure means, while the user engagement means pivotally mounts to the user support means. The apparatus is different from the more conventional see-saw apparatuses in that the upward and downward pivoting motion of the user is produced by rocking the user engagement means forward and backward, not by pushing against the ground with the feet of the user. The apparatus may be configured so that rocking the user engagement means backward and forward may produces different seat movement, including rotation about the base of the frame structure means. The apparatus may also take the form of a single user see-saw and/or exercise machine, with an optional weight support member for weighing down one side.
