Loral I Armstrong Delaney Central Park
<br /> Central Park is a 45-acre community park located at the intersection of Armstrong Boulevard and
<br /> 161 St Avenue. Park amenities include football fields, seven softball/baseball diamonds, two
<br /> lacrosse/football/soccer fields, four tennis courts, and four horseshoe pits. Its current playground
<br /> was constructed in 1998 as a community-built project. The playground uses pea gravel for surfacing.
<br /> The structure is largely wooden, but there are multiple plastic and metal components as well, such
<br /> as two plastic slides one enclosed and one open with three parallel tracks and a plastic tunnel.
<br /> The wood is in fair condition, but is exhibiting some wear and tear. There are two track-rides, one
<br /> straight with a single track and one curved with five parallel tracks. The grip for the first track-ride
<br /> is metal, with chipped paint, and the grips for the latter are plastic and are in good condition, albeit
<br /> with slightly faded paint.
<br /> Linking the two track-rides is a series of four wooden transfer platforms. The topmost platform is
<br /> accessible via a metal chain-link ladder as well as two parallel metal bars for climbing. Linking the
<br /> track-rides and transfer platform between them with the rest of the playground structure is a series
<br /> of seventeen arched plastic platforms. Additional means of entry include a rope climbing wall,metal
<br /> ladder, a wooden climbing wall with a rope, a step with handrails for accessing a transfer platform,
<br /> a corkscrew climber, and a wooden ramp.
<br /> Additional playground features include two playground excavator toys, two spinners, and a balance
<br /> beam. Overall, the playground is in fair condition, but the wooden components are worth
<br /> monitoring.
