Flintwood Terrace Park
<br /> Flintwood Terrace is a neighborhood park in southeastern Ramsey, located west of MN 47 / Saint
<br /> Francis Boulevard, north of CSAH 116 /Bunker Lake Boulevard, and south of CSAH 5 /Nowthen
<br /> Boulevard. Its playground was completed in 2004. The playground uses pea gravel for surfacing.
<br /> The playground consists of three components—a swing set, a small play set, and a large play set.
<br /> The swing set has three bays two with two belt swings each, and one with two bucket swings. The
<br /> small play set has two slides one straight with two parallel tracks and one curved 90 degrees as
<br /> well as a staircase and two opposing handrails for entering the structure.
<br /> There are five different ways one can enter the main structure—a staircase, a metal ladder with five
<br /> alternating semicircular rungs forming ten footholds, a curved metal ladder with four semi-
<br /> rectangular rungs, a chain-link ladder with six rungs, and a corkscrew climber. The main play set
<br /> has five slides—a straight slide, a straight slide with a hump, a straight slide with two parallel tracks,
<br /> a curved slide rotating 90 degrees and a curved slide rotating 360 degrees. Linking the different
<br /> elements of the structure are two bridges—a clatter bridge and a belt bridge and a plastic tunnel.
<br /> Additionally, there is a track-ride and two sets of monkey bars. One set of monkey bars has seven
<br /> upwardly curving bars,while the other has seven rings suspended by chains. Overall,the playground
<br /> is in great condition.
