spiral slide

Helical playground descent

A spiral slide is a playground slide that curves around a central axis as it descends, forming a helix shape rather than a straight path.

The spiral design allows for a longer sliding experience in a compact vertical space: The kids raced to the spiral slide.

Common in playgrounds, water parks, and indoor play structures.
