Strathclyde Zipslide 2026

See Strathclyde Park like never before and support disabled children and their families.

Fancy seeing Strathclyde Park from 100ft in the air? The Zipslide is back for 2026 and we have five places up for grabs.

This year’s event takes place in Strathclyde Park while the usual site is being refurbished and the new location has some great perks! There’s plenty of free parking, it’s easy to reach from the M74, and you can now stand right at the finish point to cheer friends and family in. With M&D’s and Amazonia just a short stroll away, it’s the perfect chance to make a full day of it.

By taking part, you’ll be helping The Yard continue to support disabled children, young people and their families through play and family support.
