The Urban Slide - Jacksonville, Jacksonville

Three-and-a-half football fields. 63.5 cars. 1,000 total feet. There are lots of ways to measure the length of The Urban Slide, which stretches down city streets across the country to raise excitement and money for good causes, with portions of each event's proceeds go to charity. Covered in a steady stream created by the latest in water recirculating technology, its vinyl surface stretches into the distance for thrill-seekers to slip and slide down during single, triple, or quintuple trips. The entire event takes on the vibe of a celebration, complete with food vendors, attendees decked out in costumes, and seals secretly disguised as humans.
