My Project
Protecting kids from excess exposure to UV rays can help lower their risk of cancer later in life. Many park shade structures use fabric to reduce the effects of the sun's harmful rays on the playground equipment, giving kids and their teachers a bit of respite during playtime.
Playground shade structures can keep play areas up to 20 degrees cooler.
Shade helps cool down an area by blocking sunlight, and natural air circulation under the shaded area also contributes to lower, more comfortable temperatures.
Play is an important way for kids to release energy, socialize, share ideas, express creativity, work together, and exercise.
But sun safety is also important. The sun is strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Those are also often ideal play hours for kids, especially during the school day.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
