Huge Sails Provide Shade And UV Protection At Four Palm Coast Playgrounds

City of Palm Coast

The hot sun will no longer stop the fun at four Palm Coast playgrounds in Flagler County.

City officials hoisted a number of huge shade-sails over the playground equipment at Ralph Carter, Waterfront, Seminole Woods and Belle Terre parks.

The brightly colored sails are made of permeable canvas that officials say will lower playground temperatures by as much as 15-degrees.

Plus, they say, the sails will also provide U-V protection for kids and grown-ups playing under them.
