The 3 Leanyer water slides

Three coloured waterslides, all the same height with different lengths.

The red slide is 125 metres in length
The blue slide is 105 metres in length
The yellow slide is 103 metres in length

You must be at least 1.1 metres (110cm) in height for safety reasons.

Plenty of shade and lots of water make this playground a favourite place to cool off and have lots of fun. Every few minutes the big blue bucket tips over and dumps a cascade of water over everyone below.
The main pool has a gently sloping sandy bottom and some shaded areas. Lifeguards are on duty when the pools and the water playground are operating, however younger children need to be supervised by parents.
A series of shaded, shallow pools for toddlers cascade into the main pool.
A large grassed area next to the pools provides a shaded playground and several shaded BBQ facilities for families or groups. Drinks and snack food are also available at the kiosk. This has become a popular place for birthday parties and local groups such as sports teams. Leanyer Skatebord Park With a basketball court and skate park also on the site, this is a great place for everyone.
