Sun Smart Shade Structures

Since back in the early 80's when I first visited the park there has been no viable shade structure to protect the community from the Sun, surprisingly even the children's playground area has never had any shade structure to protect our children. The project will include sun smart shade structures to protect the three children’s play equipment areas and also provide shade to communal areas including the recently landscaped community area opposite the office that is frequently used by the community as a gathering place.

Our community is lucky to have saved the park from closure. By providing shade and becoming a Sun Smart Park the project would attract additional users. Being a Water Sports Club having adequate shade would attract community usage, being safer and more enjoyable to use, also our children could play safely from the sun and community can gather and further enjoy the outdoors safely. Our park is a great asset for the smaller surrounding communities, the more people we can attract to the park the more the smaller surrounding communities economies benefit through tourism.
