Get ready to shout wheee! The ice rink at Birmingham’s Railroad Park returns Friday, November 22 with a brand new addition—a huge ice slide.
Yep, that’s right! What was once just an ice rink will now become a the city’s winter adventure “cool” spot.
As someone who loves slides, whether at a playground or waterpark, this news couldn’t be any more thrilling!
The slide will be positioned in Railroad Park’s amphitheater near the ice rink and will stretch 15 ft high and 100 ft. long. The coolest part—the killer city views from the top!
But, how do you get down this speedy, slippery slide? Via custom inner tubes designed specifically for the slide. Pretty cool, huh?
“In the last few years we’ve worked to create a memorable wintertime experience at the park and make it come alive for visitors in new ways. And based on the looks on the faces of absolutely everyone we’ve told about the new ice slide, we’re doing that on a whole other level this year.
