Great idea however needs desperate upgrades already. We took our boys and a friend's son to play. Giant slide. We watched as a young child came come flying down the hot and wet slide and graze his backside on the concrete. The slide's angle is at a crazy pitch.

There are internal stairs that that have narrow steps (barely big enough for a small child) and nothing but the mesh to hang on to when go up or down the stairs. Kids were running up and down this and a few slipped. It won't take much for a child to cut or even severe their finger on the mesh!!!
