TWO LOCATIONS!
You Were Born to Slide!In just four and a half years, Fun Slides Park has gone from a new-to-the-world concept to one of the area’s favorite family
entertainment and birthday party spots. Now with locations in both Greensburg and North Hills, many more kids and families can now experience this “Only in Pittsburgh” family fun place and being The World’s Only Carpet Skateparks makes it a must see destination for those visiting friends and family from out of town.
Fun Slides® Carpet Skatepark & Party Centers™, are family owned and operated entertainment facilities known for their unique brand of all blacklight, sliding family fun and excellence in providing awesome birthday party experiences. “Fun Slides is the invention that changed the way people play!” says Candy Edwards-Holsing, Director of Operations for Fun Slides Parks and sister of the inventor, “It’s so cool to watch people Fun Sliding, they learn in minutes because kids are biologically engineered to want to slide,” says Holsing laughingly…”so much that our new slogan is You Were Born to Slide!”
Fun Slides Parks are a subsidiary of Simtec, Co., a family run company headquartered in Irwin, PA. They first hit the market with EZ Moves® Furniture Slides™ EZ Moves inspired Fun Slides Carpet Skates and were created in 2002 by Don (Smokey) Edwards, co-inventor of EZ Moves. The best way to describe “Fun Sliding” is like sliding with your socks on wood floors…but you can slide on carpet. Basically, they are smooth plastic ‘skates’ that are strapped under athletic shoes. Carpet Skating is a safer alternative to skating on ice or concrete yet very cool for kids (and adults!). All first time skaters are assigned a skate instructor until they are comfortable to skate on their own.
The first Fun Slides Carpet Skatepark opened in June 2011 in Irwin. In 2012 they moved to their current location in Greensburg and added a blacklight dodgeball court and a café making their own fresh dough pizza. They recently opened their newest location in the North Hills. Their gigantic new facility, has 8 party rooms, blacklight dodgeball, can accommodate up to 350 skaters and just debuted their newest attraction Fun Slides Super Ninja Challenge, an obstacle course of speed and agility using Fun Slides. A new toddler/preschool area is opening with bounce house and slide inflatable attractions and birthday parties for preschoolers.
Fun Slides also offers a unique venue for youth group, scout and school events and sports banquets. Schools and groups can request the ‘Ask the Inventor’ talks during their fieldtrips. They discuss things like how Fun Slides and EZ Moves were invented, how and why to get a patent and encourage kids to use their creativity in their own inventions. Contact them at [email protected] for details or visit www.funslidespark.com.
