This is a large vinyl pool for children. It's a fun-filled pool with a pool, ring toss, ball play, a fountain, starfish, and various other items all in one! If the slide isn't sliding well enough, running water down it will help. It has been used 1-2 times. We spread it out on a blue sheet in the yard and played on it. There are some slight stains from use, but overall it's very clean. The balls may have lost some air pressure and are dented.
