Did you know: The earliest recorded children’s slide dates to 1902 at a playground in Washington, D.C., with an amusement park slide appearing at Coney Island a year later. Hard to believe it took all of human history, minus a century, to realize kids really love scooting down inclined planes on their rumps.

Enter the new millennium and the amazing Roller Slide, the next evolution of this traditional favorite. The slide’s 14 smooth-spinning rollers will have kids zipping from top to bottom friction-free – no more hot or sticky surfaces under the summer sun. The Roller Slide is built into KidsUp!’s east hillside near the castle towers; the hillside itself will be soft-surfaced, one of the playground’s numerous accessibility and safety features. Take a tumble, bounce right back up!
