Hi everyone,

What is an appropriate verb collocation for the nouns "slide waters" and "slides".
For example, " I enjoyed using/running down/having/sliding down slide-waters/slides in theme park or the other kind of park."
 
You slide or go down a slide or, if it's covered with running water, a water-slide (not a "slide-water").
 
If you just say you enjoyed the water slides, it would be understood it meant you riding down them.
 
If you just say you enjoyed the water slides, it would be understood it meant you riding down them.
So the verb choices include: "Ride down , "slide" , "go down".
Thanks.
 
You don't even need a verb to go with it.

I enjoyed the water-slides at the water park.

It's clear that you actually went down the slides, you didn't just stand staring at them.
 
Technically, you could say "I enjoy sliding down the water-slides" but it is redundant.

I am not a teacher.

That would be "I enjoyed watching people going down the water-slides". :)
