Playgrounds without suitable shade can expose the community to the harmful effects of UV radiation. It can also mean children are exposed to extreme surface temperatures, over 100 degrees Celcius during summer.
As the only shade fabric endorsed by Cancer Council, GALE Pacific shade sails are ideal for use in playgrounds where protection from the sun is critical.
To illustrate this, Memorial Park Playground in Merrylands, NSW is an excellent case study in making playgrounds safer for families and children during summer.
