Woodland Green Park Woodland Green is a neighborhood park in eastern Ramsey located east of MN 47 / Saint Francis Boulevard and north of Alpine Drive.Amenities include a single soccer field, and a hexagonal shelter in proximity to the playground,which was replaced in 1998. The playground uses engineered wood fiber for surfacing, with a timber border. The playground features four components the main structure with an attached jungle gym, a swing set, and two spring riders (both of which are in good condition). The swing set, consisting of two bays with two belt swings and two bucket swings in the respective bays, is in fair condition, though the crossbar is beginning to rust. The main play structure has two curved slides, one with parallel tracks and curving roughly 45 degrees and another slide (longer than the first) zigzagging, but curving roughly 45 degrees as well. There are six means of entry, the main one being a transfer surface and staircase. There are three metal rope-like ladders one enclosed with a metal ring on top, one with two parallel metal bars on the sides, and one with a single climbing track. A fifth means of entry is a green plastic climbing structure adjacent to the longer slide. A sixth possible method of entry is the jungle gym attached to the main structure. It also consists of a rope climbing wall, a set of monkey bars made up of five rings each attached to the end of a chain, a pull-up bar, and a set of monkey bars with three tilted, rotating, circular handholds. The second set of monkey bars is slanted. The jungle gym and main playground structure are both in good condition. r, } FF v r - - _ t �p 7 - 1I - wr - Figures 58-59: Woodland Green Park Playground (looking east and west,respectively) 30
