Four Temporary Waterslide Designs Adapted to Different Slope Conditions to Encourage Child Socialization in Playgrounds

Increased urbanization has decreased children's access to various natural outdoor environments. To counteract this deficiency in early life experiences, we designed four temporary waterslides, each tailored different city-side park conditions. The waterslides were simple construct, with frames built from easy-to-attain resources such as bamboo rods a local forest and pipes joints overlaid by tarp. Plywood boards, cardboard, tarp used create pool at the foot of slides, which placed on existing slopes or stairs park. Water was continually released down slide during 1-2 h event. At event, children gathered spontaneously use slides interact socially. No serious accidents occurred waterslide trials. understand how waterslide, activity recorded video. minute highest level quantitatively analyzed determine lines flow surrounding mean maximum speeds attained while using waterslide.
