Real protection during peak childhood sun exposure
Playgrounds
The American Cancer Society reports over 1 million new skin cancer cases diagnosed annually in the U.S. Children are particularly at risk, both from sensitive skin and time spent outdoors — and receive 80% of their total lifetime sun exposure by age 18.
Playgrounds
Shade America playground structures block up to 96% of cancer-causing UV rays, protecting kids while keeping the play area measurably cooler underneath.
The earlier sun protection becomes part of a child's daily routine, the lower their lifetime skin cancer risk — and permanent shade structures make that protection automatic rather than dependent on sunscreen reapplication.
