Elmcrest Park
<br /> Elmcrest is a large community park located in east-central Ramsey,west of State Highway 47/ Saint
<br /> Francis Boulevard and south of 1671h Avenue along Quicksilver Street. Park amenities include
<br /> twelve soccer fields. Its playground was erected in 2015, the year after the adj acent park building
<br /> was completed. The playground uses engineered wood fiber for surfacing.
<br /> The farm-themed playground features a main playground structure, a swing set with two bucket
<br /> swings, a play barn, two spinners (one globe spinner), two chicken sculptures and one bee sculpture
<br /> for climbing. The main play structure contains an obstacle course with a rope ladder, four angled
<br /> platforms securedinto the ground by a chain, a curved metal bar with four ropes crossing one another
<br /> for balancing, aset of inclined monkey bars comprised of three rings forming six handholds,and five
<br /> stepping pods. Additionally, the playground has three zigzagging slides and five means of entry—
<br /> one transfer surface, two platforms forming a quasi-staircase, a ladder consisting of three platforms,
<br /> an enclosedchain-link ladder with five metal semicircular footholds, and a climbing wall with slots
<br /> cut out for footholds. All components of the playground are in excellent condition.
