## Summary

St. George City Hall in Utah has turned its four-storey parking garage into a popular family attraction by installing two slides from its upper levels. The project has brought visitors to the downtown area and prompted debate over how public funds should be spent.

The slides cost more than $575,000, funded through a local Recreation, Arts and Parks tax, and recorded an average of up to 2,400 uses a day, peaking at 4,700 on 19 September. The site also includes tunnels, trampolines and swinging benches. Some residents question the cost and whether the stainless steel slides could become too hot, while supporters say the project can help make downtown a community gathering place.
