Playground Equipment 9 Foot Single Zig Zag Embankment Slide



The 9-Foot Single Zig Zag Embankment Slide is a hillside slide with a twist -- instead of running straight down the slope, it zigzags. That back-and-forth path gives kids a longer ride and adds some unpredictability compared to a standard straight embankment slide. It's designed for ages 2-12 and fits a use zone of 14 ft 8 in by 9 ft. Like all embankment slides, it sits against a hillside rather than on an elevated platform, so you need a suitable slope to install it on.

BEST FOR: Parks, schools, and playgrounds with a hillside that's roughly 9 feet in height. If you've already looked at the straight embankment slides and want something with a bit more character, the zig zag design gives kids a different sensation on the way down. This is a good companion piece to a straight embankment slide if your hill is wide enough for both.

What Makes the Playground Equipment 9 Foot Single Zig Zag Embankment Slide Stand Out?

The zig zag design is what sets this apart from the straight embankment slides. Instead of a direct shot down the hill, kids navigate a series of turns that slow them down naturally and extend the ride. It's a different sensory experience -- the direction changes add a mild lateral force that straight slides don't provide, which some kids find more engaging.

From an installation standpoint, this works the same as the straight embankment models: you need a hill with the right grade, and the slide mounts against the slope. The zig zag path means the slide covers more horizontal ground than a straight version at the same height, so your hill needs to be wide enough to accommodate the turns. We can help you evaluate whether your site geometry works for this model.
