Over 1,600 New Zealanders urge mandatory playground shade to protect children from sun exposure.
A petition in New Zealand, backed by over 1,600 signatures, calls for mandatory shade in all new and upgraded playgrounds after a survey found 78% of parents avoid them in summer due to sun exposure.
Led by parenting app Roam with Kids founder Renata Wiles, the campaign highlights risks of heat-related burns and long-term skin cancer from childhood UV exposure.
Despite budget concerns, 89% of surveyed parents prioritize shade over playground equipment.
The petition, open until January 31, 2026, urges councils to require shade structures to ensure safe, year-round playground use.
