Looks like a maple. When I was a kid we would open those and put them on our noses...silly kids.

A species of Maple - not sure which one, though.

Kid culture back in time, a universal! Be home when the streetlights come on.

Looks like the consensus is against me but, you can identify it by the leaves.
Maple leaves: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=maple+trees+leaves+pictures&atb=v171-4__&ia=images
Mimosa leaves: https://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/mimosa-tree.html
If it turns out to be a Mimosa, run, don't walk to put the axe to it. The wind will scatter the seeds and you will see them spinning on that one wing as they drift from the tree. Every single one that gets past the grass to the ground will come up. It is very invasive.

Those are seed pods in the OP’s photo. Mimosa seed pods look nothing like maple tree seed pods. The seed pods in the photo are not Mimosa seed pods.

The leaves will either confirm or deny that it's a maple.

Unbelievable differences - jeez. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGGE___US607US607&q=mimosa+seed+pod&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiSroPR1_roAhUXvp4KHTviCGcQsAR6BAgFEAE No expert, won't say what kind of Maple without research, but grew up with Maple Seed pods.

I'LL have to go with Maple, having grown Mimosa from seed, most definitely NOT Mimosa. and controlling the spread isn't all that hard, just mow the sprouts, they can't stand it!!! The seed pods look more like bean pods.

No question that it's a Maple! Without the leaves it's hard to tell which one, but I'm betting that it's a Silver Maple. They're very common, grow quickly and produce thousands of these whirlybird seed pods.
