Parliament Street Reserve slide
Parliament Street Reserve is now home to Hobart's largest slide. It's a 15 metre giant that replaces the old straight slide that was removed for safety reasons.
We're calling it the Green Machine. It whisks kids downhill through a snakey tunnel built for fun and safety.
Natural landscaping
We have also landscaped the area with large dolerite rock work and new gardens. A picnic table and gravel paths were installed to make it easier for families to access the area.
Safety first
- The new slide design was chosen to meet Australian Safety standards.
- The top is enclosed.
- Several turns in the slide helps control the speed of people on the slide.
- Soft fall areas will be built at both the top and bottom of the slide.
This project is supported by the Tasmanian Government through the Department of State Growth.
