Sun-safe spaces for children, parents and carers

RedlandsUndercover

Here in the Redlands we enjoy sunshine almost

all year round, so please try and minimise your

exposure to direct and reflected sunlight when out

in the sun.

The Queensland Cancer Council suggests that while outdoors we should:

wear a legionnaire or broad •brimmed hat wear sun protective clothing •(e.g. collared shirts, etc) and use appropriate sun protection apply a SPF30 sunscreen •where possible, •minimise outdoor play in the middle of the dayencourage children to play •in shaded areaseducate children about sun safety.•

Further information on being sun smart is available online via Queensland Heath: www.health.qld.gov.au/sunsafety/ Council is progressively upgrading its sun-safe parks, so please check the Redlands website for updated information: www.redland.qld.gov.au.

An increasing number of Redland

City parks are now more comfortable

and sun-safe, making them a great

place to meet up with friends,

plan a picnic, have playtime with

a parents group, or entertain the

children in the great outdoors.

Ongoing improvements at Council

parks include:

increased shade cover over •

playground areas

increased tree planting (for future shade) •

upgraded playground areas, including new •

furniture/equipment and water bubblers.

Council is proud to deliver sun-safe parks

to Redland residents as part of the Shade

in Parks project.
