You're supposed to use a burlap sack on the slide. We have a blue colored slide like that still in use at Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay Wisconsin. But ours has 9 lanes to slide down. I used to ride on it a lot when I was a child in the 1980's & 1990's and it's still being used today. I don't know when it was built, but looking at historical satellite views it looks like it was sometime between 1960 and 1971.

Brandywine Picnic Park? That was opened when I moved down here and that was in 2017. It was marketed to kids and camps, so I never felt the need to go. The tropical storm that came through did allot of damage to nearby towns. I had a roommate whose house along the creek was destroyed. He was only able to salvage a few things. I only would have had damage to my car had I not moved it out of the street that day. The street was dry minutes before, but the sudden rainfall brought a deluge of water down the hillside. The backyard became a river for a few hours from a creek that barely has any water flowing through.
