About This Place
The Toboganes de Madrid Río are a set of large outdoor slides built into the riverbanks of the Madrid Río park along the Manzanares river. The slides are free to use and are a hugely popular summer family activity — children queue to whizz down the long, steep slopes onto the grassy lawn below. A classic free Madrid Río experience, particularly busy on hot summer weekends. Open daily; free admission.
