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 167th Avenue along Quicksilver Street. Park amenities include <br />twelve soccer fields. Its playground was erected in 2015, the year after the adjacent 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. <br />Figures 28-31: (clockwise from the top left) main play structure; chicken sculpture, <br />bee and flower sculpture, swing set with bucket swings, and play barn <br />14 <br />
