The Feather River Recreation and Park District regrets to inform the community that the tube slide at MLK Park has sustained significant damage beyond repair. For the safety of the public, the slide will be removed.
The slide has been inspected, and it has been determined that the damaged section is no longer available due to the manufacturer discontinuing that specific part.
The District is actively exploring potential replacement options for the slide, including alternative features that would enhance the playground experience. We understand the importance of this amenity and are committed to finding a suitable and budget-conscious solution.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through this situation. Thank you for your continued support of our community parks.
