mystery steeple or
old oil well?
Despite discussing Chutes Park numerous over the years, I am pretty sure we haven't seen this photograph of the chutes under construction.
old file
The photograph that is most like this one
[HERE] doesn't include the triangular wooden object in the left foreground. At first I thought it was the steeple of an old church, but now I am not so sure.
A closer look.
detail
In certain places [lower half], it appears that you can see through it.
And a bent piece of metal [I-Beam] is leaning against the left side.
Whatever it is, it appears to be in pretty bad shape.

p.s. I remember discussing a church in proximity to the park...but that was the nearby
Fiesta Park.
