Ford Brook Park
<br /> Ford Brook is a neighborhood park in northeastern Ramsey located north of CSAH 27 / 179th Lane,
<br /> east of MN 47 / Saint Francis Boulevard, and one mile west of the entrance to Rum River Central
<br /> Regional Park along CSAH 7/7th Street. Its playground was constructed on site in 2020, as a `gently
<br /> used' replacement sourced from the county park to the east,with monies from the Lawful Gambling
<br /> Fund. The playground uses engineered wood fiber for surfacing.
<br /> The playground consists of two distinct play structures, a balance beam, as well as a swing set with
<br /> two separate bays one with two belt swings, the other with a bucket swing and a chair swing. The
<br /> first playset contains two curved plastic tunnels one with two sections fastened together and the
<br /> other with six sections; three slides each straight with two parallel tracks, but one with a hump and
<br /> a dip on respective track; and three means of entry—a stair case with metal bars for handholds, a
<br /> chain-link ladder, and a corkscrew climber.
<br /> The other playset has three main means of entry—a staircase and two metal ladders and two
<br /> slides one straight, the other enclosed and rotating 360 degrees. It also features an obstacle course
<br /> consisting of three platforms connected to metal poles, a track-ride, a pull-up bar, and a log roll.
