Sun’s Out, Shade’s On at the Pines Recreation Area
Good news for Groveland residents: the Pines Recreation Area just got a whole lot cooler. Premier Park & Play recently completed the installation of three large canvas shade structures, bringing welcome relief to both the playground and the dog park all season long.
Shade has become a serious priority in parks and recreation planning, and for good reason. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, UV exposure is the leading cause of skin cancer, and children who spend time outdoors without protection are especially vulnerable. Quality shade structures can block up to 98% of harmful UV rays, making them one of the most practical investments a community can make.
A Better Playground Experience
“The best playground is one where kids never want to leave and parents never have to worry.”
A large blue and black umbrella by Superior Recreation Products stretches over a generous footprint of the playground next to the slides, offering steady overhead coverage for seating and gathering space. Kids can stay outside longer without overheating. Parents and caregivers have a comfortable spot to sit, watch, and relax.
Happy Dogs, Happy Owners
“The best dog park is one where tails never stop wagging and paws never overheat.”
Dogs feel the heat even more than people do, and overheated paws, dehydration, and heat exhaustion often cut outdoor time short as a result. The new dog park shade structure changes that.
Two vibrant green and black Superior Recreation Products hanging cantilevers (20 ft. x 13 ft. x 10 ft. and 12 ft. x 13 ft. x 10 ft.) now cover a wide, open area in the dog park, giving dogs room to roam while staying out of direct sun. Owners can relax underneath, keep an eye on their pets, and stay comfortable even during the warmest part of the afternoon.
