Sun Shading At Parks

 

What makes a park a good park?

One important structure at a “good” park is the sun shading. A park can set itself aside from others in terms of comfort, safety and appearance that cannot be substituted with other items.  

In the summer, the sun blazes down on playgrounds so harshly that people just don’t want to go there if there is no shading. Does your park have sufficient shading?

                                                      

The importance of adequate shading

Sun shade structures are improving alongside technology and material enhancements. They are more creatively planned and come in almost any form imaginable.

Shading can be added to existing playgrounds and can create an aesthetic improvement at your park. Structures can be used over benches as well to shield parents while they watch their children.

As the temperature increases during summertime, the play structure materials get very hot and can burn the kids who are trying to play. Future skin cancer can be prevented by minimizing the effects of UV rays to the body.

How can kids combat these issues and still be able to go outside in hot weather? With adequate shade! The correct type of shade fabric can improve shade systems to cool down playgrounds up to 20 degrees. Wow! That can be the difference of staying inside all day or going out to have fun.

 

Starting a shade project

Planning the shade project for your park involves taking several key steps. Which material will be used? There are fabric, umbrella or steel shelters to name a few.

Will the material need to be waterproof? This could come in handy – in addition to minimizing sun exposure. Who will be installing the structure? You will want to make sure the money is well spent.

 

Creating a comfortable atmosphere for the whole family!

A great playground that is set aside from the rest is a place with simple extras. It allows families to be outside playing longer. Shade structures are about as important as drinking fountains for kids – and parents. They should be safe and clean for kids, with all the equipment in working condition.

Playgrounds should be used more often. They are a place where people can go out and be reminded of places where people can have fun without relying upon technology.

 

Make it shady!

The more inviting the playground, the more families will be out creating a stronger community with one another. Playgrounds with shading get more use and are a better place for families to enjoy one another.
