Bring a flat piece of cardboard or a dedicated plastic sliding mat to sit on, as the metal rollers can be friction-heavy or hot in summer.
Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes suitable for climbing the stairs or paths leading back up to the top of the roller slide.
Bring your own sports equipment, such as basketballs or soccer balls, if you plan to utilize the multi-purpose court areas.
Do not attempt to ride the roller slide without a mat, as the continuous metal rollers can cause friction burns on bare skin.
Respect local noise levels, as the park is situated near residential zones; use play equipment as intended to prevent damage to the rollers.
