It's not a municipal slide; it's a church slide! Nonetheless, it's way more fun than it looks!
[caitlin, 02/27/2025]My husband and I are both in our 50s and throughly enjoyed this. They do have towels there for you to use on the slide. There is saw dust at bottom, so plan on getting a little on you.
[Coreen, 04/28/2022]Bring towels to go faster down the slide. You may end up with a wood burn or two while trying to do some crazy moves going down the slide, so pack a bit of butter to put on your abrasion to "draw out the burn" as my Grandmom used to say. But don't let that dissuade you from trying; the thrill is worth it! Our family would go here every first Sunday in May and June for our family reunion. My grandparents parents started the tradition and it continued well past my own childhood. All of us kids had the best time going up and down what the locals call "the sliding board" and playing on the massive carousel. My sister and I are planning to restart the reunion and give our children a place to make their own lasting memories of family, fun, and giant wooden sliding boards!

The slide is much bigger and faster than I expected. Super fun, with or without kids!

Fantastically fun for all! There are picnic tables too, great for a roadside lunch break.
