Splash park and water slides

Water slides

We have two slides at the Marion Outdoor Pool, both starting from the top of the 10m platform.

Our green, white and blue Twist Slide starts off with a 15m enclosed tunnel with spectacular translucent colour bands. The tunnel rounds the corner and changes to an anti-clockwise downward spiral of open air slide for the remainder of the ride. The ride concludes when the rider splashes in to the run-out trough.

Our yellow Speed Slide is for those looking for a fast and exciting thrill. Drop down 10m at what feels like a vertical plunge, picking up great speed, before crossing the finish line at the bottom in a spectacular splash.

Tips and tricks

Twist Slide:

  • Pick-up a mat at the bottom of staircase for the Twist Slide. It helps maintain speed and reduce friction. Not to be used on Speed Slide.

  • Getting body weight forward. Leaning forward in seating position. Try and reach your toes, or sit with feet close in and knees out wide.

  • Do not try and twist and turn around. You will lose momentum.

  • If you find yourself going too fast, sit upright.

  • Adults riding with children never let go of the child whilst riding the waterslide, as that may cause injury to both of you when you collide at the bottom of the slide.

Speed Slide:

  • Lay down. Ride on your feet and shoulder blades.
  • Raise your bottom off the slide.
  • Arms crossed onto either shoulder.
  • Legs out straight with feet crossed over.
  • Your feet will take the impact of the still water in the chute at the end.
