The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I'm amplifying the ideas to add shade structures at local playgrounds. At Fallon Field in particular, the metal toddler slide sits in full sun and becomes dangerously hot in summer.
Who it helps and why
Playgrounds and splash pads are an essential resource for families, especially those without a private backyard or air conditioning. They promote health through activity and family engagement.
