as a landscape architect who deals alot with playground equipment, i personally dont see either option being bad for heat... if you went with a stainless steel slide - that would be HOT! also, black would be hot too, but its main drawback is that it would fade quicker...
the yellow will definately stick out like a sore thumb, though. so, depending on the color of green, it may blend in quite nicely with the surrounding greenery - also, it may keep the unit looking less like an amusement park, and more like an activity center...
we currently renovate alot of public playground facilities and often immediately replace the yellow plastic pieces with brown or green because yellow is just obnoxious... just like yellow cars - "yellow means fast!"
