St. George, Utah, is set to unveil a unique addition to its new parking garage next to City Hall: a four-story slide. This innovative feature aims to provide a fun alternative to traditional stairways and elevators, encouraging community engagement with City Hall. The project, costing approximately $400,000, will be financed through RAP tax funds approved by voters in 2024. The design includes two slides, one starting from the fourth floor and the other from between the third and fourth floors, both terminating at ground level. City officials, including David Cordedo, emphasize the importance of making City Hall a welcoming space for everyone, not just city employees. While community members have raised safety concerns, the city reassures that using the slides is at one's own risk, similar to other park equipment. To mitigate the risk of slides becoming too hot in the summer sun, a tree will be planted nearby for shade. The slides are expected to open in July 2024, providing a playful option for visitors to the downtown area.
