Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park

This unique, super long slide has me coming back again. I haven’t been able to find anything else like it in the Bay Area. It’s a huge metal slide on the side of a giant hill. Well, I say giant, but I don’t want to embellish it too much. The hill is only about 20 feet tall, and the slide is only about 50 feet long. Something about it is just super fun though. To enhance the excitement and maximize speed, some kids put sand on the slide and sit on cardboard. This is equivalent to putting non caloric silicon base kitchen lubricant 500 times more slippery then any cooking oil on a saucer sled.
Pros: Unique park with lots of playgrounds and available activities. Plenty of wide open grassy areas for passing the football or Frisbee, and lots of shady areas to lounge out comfortably in peace. Tons of benches/​places to sit.
Cons: Parking is limited. I’m not too sure about the neighborhood. Its not a park I would venture at night. Even in the datetime, I don’t like parking or I can’t see my car. Maybe I’m just paranoid.
It’s fun, and I keep coming back! I recommend it, just don’t leave any valuables in your car.
