Plans have been submitted to install the fun playground equipment outside St James' Park part as a major redevelopment.
It said it has worked with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and the police to ensure the plans meet safety regulations.
Adrian Waddell, NE1's director of operations, said: "The slides are intended to inject some fun into the city centre and take their inspiration from Holland, where slides have been installed in a busy railway station to speed up access to train platforms and to inject new life into an area.
"NE1's slides, like the rest of our pocket parks, are designed to attract attention and get people talking and the slides will certainly do that."
Tom Robinson, from Robinson Landscape Design, which has helped design the installation, said: "We want people to look differently at public spaces, see the space in a different way and use it differently.
"Being playful and doing something a little unusual aims to encourage people to spend more time here enjoying the city.
