metal slide

Hot summer toboggan

A metal slide is playground equipment—a smooth inclined surface, typically steel or aluminum, that children climb up to and slide down.

Metal slides conduct heat, becoming scorching in summer sun and frigid in winter: I burned my legs on the metal slide.

Largely replaced by plastic slides in modern playgrounds.
