Park Shelters for next summer

August 25th, 2012 · Published to Playgrounds

A little foresight always goes a long way, and this is never more so than ensuring you are prepared for another hot summer before summer arrives. In terms of shade solutions, it is best to be one step ahead of the rush for summer shade solutions – everyone under the heat of the sun will be looking for shade, and if your local park already has that park shelters in hand, it means more children can enjoy playing at the park and avoiding harmful UV rays. And that is foresight.

You can just imagine the effect of a simple shade installation in any park. When the environment is more comfortable to people, people will stay, and people staying means more activity and for young children, exercise and outdoor activities are very important. If you compare last summer when there were no park shelters installed, to the current summer where park shelters were in place you will notice how much extra time your kids are away from the computer and video games and out playing as they should be. But if your local park has not yet installed any shelter, now is their opportunity.

As a council planner, each season you delay in investing in a shade solution for a park, you are putting children’s health at risk by a) allowing them to play in the sun b) restricting those who are sun smart from playing in the park . Each application can win votes with the local community.

If it is too late for this coming season, plan ahead for next year’s summer. Global Shade Australia offers you a free quote – but make sure the prices on the quote applies to the season you will be confirming the agreement to install the shade solutions in your park. Apply some foresight to your business – Park Shelters are reasonable and justifiable expenses that will turn out to be good investments in the long run.
