(CNN) - North Carolina police officers took a moment to cool down at a neighborhood Fourth of July celebration Tuesday.

A group of Asheville, NC residents built a huge slip 'n slide for kids and adults to enjoy.

Some neighbors contacted police to complain about it blocking off a portion of road.

When police arrived, they addressed the neighbors’ concerns – then ended up joining in on the fun.

Both Officers Joe Jones and Carrie Lee made sure their uniforms were covered before sliding down the street.

Police told the group that since vehicles could still safely get by they would not issue any citations.

Video of the officers having fun was posted by some of the residents, and been shared thousands of times.
