Picture this: your child’s face lighting up as they see a towering water slide in your backyard. No more scrambling to find entertainment that actually works. No more worrying about whether the kids will have fun.
Your party becomes the one everyone remembers. Kids are lined up, laughing, racing down slides, and parents are actually relaxed because the entertainment is handled. You’re not chasing kids around or trying to keep them busy—they’re completely absorbed in the fun.
The best part? You get to enjoy your own event instead of stressing about it. When the party’s over, you’ll have that satisfied feeling that comes from throwing an event people will talk about for months.
We’ve been the go-to choice for Elwood families who want their parties done right since 2007. We’ve built our reputation on something simple: showing up on time with equipment that’s clean, safe, and ready to go.

Every water slide comes with built-in safety features that matter: safety nets, entrance ramps, and properly designed splash pools at the bottom. These aren’t backyard-quality inflatables—they’re commercial-grade units built to handle real use and keep kids safe.
The equipment works on grass or pavement, so your Elwood backyard setup options are flexible. Each unit arrives clean, inspected, and ready for immediate use. You’re not getting something that’s been sitting in storage—you’re getting equipment that’s maintained to professional standards.
Elwood’s family-focused community deserves rental equipment that matches their standards. That’s why we invest in the best commercial-grade water slides available, not the cheapest options on the market.
Most water slides need a flat area that’s roughly 35-45 feet long and 15-20 feet wide, though this varies by specific unit. The key is having enough clearance from fences, trees, or overhead obstacles like power lines.
Your Elwood backyard probably has the space—most residential lots in the area work fine for standard water slides. We’ll walk through your specific space requirements when you call, and we can recommend the right size slide for your yard dimensions.
We also need access to a standard electrical outlet within 100 feet of the setup area to power the blower that keeps the slide inflated. If your setup location is further from power, we can provide generator rental as an add-on service.
Yes, but the right slide depends on your group. We carry everything from smaller slides perfect for toddlers and young children up to giant 22-foot slides that thrill teenagers and adults.
Each commercial-grade unit includes safety features like entrance ramps, safety nets, and properly designed splash zones. The slides are built to handle mixed-age groups safely when used properly, and we provide safety guidelines with every rental.
For Elwood family parties with mixed ages, we often recommend dual-lane slides or combo units that offer different activity levels. This keeps everyone entertained without safety concerns. Our team helps you pick the right equipment based on your specific group’s age range and experience level.
Light rain usually isn’t a problem—kids often love water slides even more in the rain. However, if there’s lightning, strong winds, or severe weather, safety comes first and the equipment needs to be shut down temporarily.
We monitor weather conditions and work with you to make the best decision for your event. If severe weather forces a complete cancellation, we offer rescheduling options or discuss alternatives based on the specific situation.
For Elwood’s unpredictable summer weather, many families choose to have backup indoor activities ready, but most parties proceed as planned. Our experience with Long Island weather patterns helps us provide realistic guidance about whether your event should proceed or be rescheduled.
Summer weekends in Nassau County fill up fast, especially for popular dates like holiday weekends and peak party season in July and August. Booking 2-4 weeks ahead gives you the best selection and guarantees your preferred date.
That said, we accept last-minute calls and often have availability, especially for weekday events or less popular weekend dates. If you’re planning a spontaneous party, it’s worth calling to check availability.
For Elwood families planning birthday parties during peak season, earlier booking also means better selection of specific water slides. The most popular units—like our giant dual-lane slides—get reserved first, so advance planning gets you more options.
You provide the water source—just a standard garden hose connection. Most Elwood homes have outdoor spigots that work perfectly. The slide connects to your hose, and the water system is built into the unit.
We handle all the setup and connection, so you don’t need to figure out the technical details. The water usage is reasonable—similar to running a sprinkler for the same time period. Most families find it doesn’t significantly impact their water bill.
If your outdoor water access is limited or inconveniently located, mention that when booking. We can sometimes work around challenging water setups or suggest alternative solutions based on your specific property layout.
Every rental includes professional delivery, complete setup, safety inspection, and takedown service. You’re not just renting equipment—you’re getting full-service party support that handles all the logistics.
Our delivery team arrives hours before your party starts, sets up everything properly, tests all systems, and makes sure you understand basic operation and safety guidelines. After your event, we return to handle all the breakdown and removal.
We also offer package deals that bundle water slides with other party essentials like tables, chairs, concession machines, or additional inflatables. Many Elwood families find these packages more convenient and cost-effective than sourcing party supplies from multiple vendors.
