NEW YORK, NY — A
270-foot waterslide will be set up in the middle of Manhattan when Summer
Streets returns to the city Aug. 5. The event has closed usually packed
thoroughfares to traffic for the past 10 years, instead opening them as public
playgrounds.
The slide will open in
Foley Square Aug. 5, 12 and 19. Registration is
required and available through Eventbrite. The first Saturday has sold out.
The closed-off area
extends from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park along Park Avenue and
connecting streets. Held from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., all activities are free of
charge.

Beyond the slide,
other activities include a 165-foot-long, 30-foot-high zipline at Uptown Rest
Stop on 52nd Street, a bouldering wall at Foley Square, bike-riding classes in
Midtown, a “Paws and Play” dog park at Astor Place and fitness classes in Soho.
There will even be a giant water park in the shape of a dishwasher, according
to the city website.
In 2016, the city
reported that nearly 300,000 people took advantage of the open streets.
A full map of the
Summer Streets route, which is
organized by the Department of Transportation, is available on the city
website. Nearly seven miles of streets will be involved.
Summer Streets is
modeled after other events from around the world, including the Ciclovía in Bogotá, Colombia and
the Paris-Plage in
France.
About
Summer Streets
Summer Streets is an annual
celebration of New York City’s most valuable public space—our streets. On three
consecutive Saturdays in August, nearly seven miles of NYC's streets are opened
for people to play, run, walk and bike.
Summer Streets provides
space for healthy recreation and encourages New Yorkers to use more sustainable
forms of transportation. In 2016, nearly 300,000 people took advantage of the
open streets.
Summer Streets is modeled
on other events from around the world including Ciclovía in
Bogotá, Colombia and the Paris Plage in France and has since
inspired other such events around the world such as CicloRecreo Via
and London's Regent Street Summer
Streets.
Held between 7:00 am to
1:00 pm, Summer Streets extends from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, along
Park Avenue and connecting streets, with easy access from all points in New
York City, allowing participants to plan a trip as long or short as they wish.
All activities at Summer Streets are free of charge, and designed for people of
all ages and ability levels to share the streets respectfully.
 
Summer Streets NYC 2017 guide
At
Summer Streets NYC 2017, thrill-seekers can partake in free outdoor fun and
slide down a massive water slide
During Summer Streets NYC 2017, seven
miles of Gotham turf along Lafayette Street and Park Avenue is completely
cleared of vehicles in order to create a pedestrian paradise. Hundreds and
thousands of revelers descend upon the asphalt for invigorating sight-filled
tours, plus free activities including a rock climbing wall, a zipline, outdoor
art installations and misting stations. You won’t want to miss this year’s six
rest stops which include a 270-foot water slide, fitness classes, a dog park,
arts and crafts workshops, plus walking tours that explore NYC parks and some of the most
beautiful NYC buildings. This is one of the best NYC events in August, so make sure to hit the
streets for the first three Saturdays.
