playground slide

Children's sloping chute

A playground slide is a piece of equipment with a smooth inclined surface that children climb up to and slide down.

The classic design has a ladder leading to a platform, then a chute—metal, plastic, or sometimes molded into hills or tubes.

The kids lined up for the slide.

Often shortened to just slide in context.
