why can’t they make playground materials that are heat resistant?

275 viewsEngineeringOther

Inspired by our local playground that recently renovated and has to put up [warning signs saying that the metal slides get hot in the sun](https://sanjosespotlight.com/heat-scorches-east-san-jose-emma-prusch-farm-park-playground-slides-equipment/), but I’ve seen this same issue at playgrounds with plastic pieces. The day will be reasonably warm but we still can’t go to the playground because it’s just too hot to climb on.

Having passive cooled playground equipment actually sounds awesome but the one thing that drives me nuts is why the hell don’t you surround playgrounds in evergreen trees like they did when I was a kid? SHADE WORKS.
