Slide Hill has reopened after under­go­ing planned maintenance.

Zoom down the hill­side at Slide Hill! Locat­ed in the beau­ti­ful park­land on the south­ern half of Gov­er­nors Island, Slide Hill offers a vari­ety of slides that are bound to delight young vis­i­tors and fam­i­lies. Scram­ble up the Tim­ber Climb or take a wind­ing path up the hill and fly back down! Slide Hill fea­tures three short­er slides, includ­ing a fam­i­ly slide built for two peo­ple to ride down at once. Thrill-seek­ers will get a rush on the fourth slide: a curv­ing, 57 foot-long, three sto­ry-high slide — the longest in NYC!
