The leaves are really dark green, fan like leaves. It is a good climbing tree for kids. It's branches are very long and hang out over the drive, the house, the street.

Mimosa has very airy, fluffy, fragrant pink blossoms that form seed pods an inch + wide and 8 - 12 inches long, bark is smooth grey...am I close
Is this it?

RE:
I have a huge tree in my front yard with pea pod things hanging from it. What is it?

Sounds like a catalpa, if the leaves are large as a saucer or even bigger, and the beans are a foot long or so, size of a small pinkie. Catalpas have a distinctive smell, leaves, pods and branches. Make great tree house trees, as well as specimen trees.

This is just a shot in the dark... without a picture.
I like the idea of Catalpa, but also look at Kentucky Coffee tree (Gymnocladus). It is in the locust family, has ferny -fan like leaves and giant pods. It's coarse branching would also make it a good climbing tree.
Good luck-

Pretty much anything with pea-like pods hanging from it would be a legumenous tree, possible a locust of some variety.

Sounds like it may be a Catalpa tree.They are usually the last tree's in spring to get their leaves and they have white flowers that hang in a bunch.they have large dark green leaves and big pod's in fall.

Delicate fern like leaves with pink flowers would be a Mimosa, the pods look like green beans pods with brown seeds.

If it has yellow flowers that hand down in the summer. prior to the pods forming, it is likely to be a Laburnum. If that's the case, seed pods are highly dangerous to children.

Sounds very much like a Southern Catalpa. They are excellent shade trees and I would call the leaves broad heart-shaped. I climbed them myself as a kid--that was a long time ago.
