Is this America???

I recently moved to a new neighborhood and am exploring the open spaces and parks in this part of America. One of green belt areas I visited has this desolate broken and patched up bridge. I am surprised that this has been left like this. Perhaps nobody uses this part of the open space much so it has been left alone to the wild? I do not know, but it did make a rugged view and interesting experience to amble across the bridge gingerly keeping my balance on the slippery logs.
