Kids love bumpy roller slides. Roller slides provide tactile stimulation, allow for social play or a support person due to their wider width, are safe for kids with cochlear implants and tend to get less hot.
Here’s the ones we’ve found so far:
1. Crossroads Playground
East Village – 7 Ave and 6 St SE
2. Flyover Park Playground
651 McDougall Rd NE
This is the longest roller slide in the city
3. Carrington Playground
Carrington – Symons Valley Parkway & 14 St NW
4. Alberta Children’s Hospital Playground
2888 Shagnanappi Trail N.W.
5. South Glenmore Children’s Variety Park
South Glenmore Park – 90 Ave. & 24 St. S.W.
This one is a bit different from the others on this list – it’s not really a slide at all. The rollers are flat but still fun.
