Three Gotta-Have Moves to Use the Slide at Martin Park Beach
Here are some Ridgefield children enjoying the Martin Park Beach water slide.
Lifeguard Dan Pallant said three moves will get a swimmer down the water slide at Martin Park Beach, and those three moves turn tame into game.
Some kids start fast but end slow. Others stop sliding half way down and have to walk to the end and jump into the water. It isn't size and it isn't height, but there are three moves, Pallant said.
Take a running start Pallant said.
"Stay on your belly," Pallant said.
"Keep your hands up and out straight," he concluded.
The water slide uses too much water to run it constantly. It runs on the schedule posted on the Martin Park Beach page.
