About the program
We're installing shade sails at playgrounds across Brisbane as part of Council's Sun-safe suburban playgrounds program.
More shade at playgrounds will allow the community to use playgrounds more often, especially during summer.
Works will include intermittent temporary closures of playground equipment to:
- install poles and frames
- measure and install shade sails.
Program benefits
- Cooler playground areas and equipment.
- Reduced sun and UV radiation exposure for users and equipment.

What this means for you
Construction will take place between 6.30am and 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday.
Sails will take 3 to 5 weeks to install depending on the size and site conditions of each playground.
During construction, we'll temporarily close and fence off playground equipment and install signage. We'll maintain safe use of other park facilities.
