But it is especially pronounced in places like the Phoenix metro area, which includes Tempe. Heat is a constant fact of life here\u2014and a present-day peek into other communities\u2019 future. Already, cities from <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/advanced-reporting-the-city\/how-climate-change-is-changing-nycs-schoolyards-for-the-better-ad536c9d64a5\">New York<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/08\/26\/1196170854\/climate-change-is-making-schoolyard-play-dangerously-hot-california-has-a-soluti\">Los Angeles<\/a> are rethinking playground design.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlaygrounds are really at the heart of extreme heat impact,\u201d said Ariane Middel, the SHaDe Lab\u2019s director and an associate professor focused on the intersection of extreme heat and urban climates, including at playgrounds in the Phoenix area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKids don\u2019t really care about sun or shade or heat, they just want to play, so they don\u2019t pay attention,\u201d she said. \u201cBut then the second issue that we have with playgrounds here in Phoenix, where there\u2019s an absence of shade, is the surface temperatures. Because kids usually use their bare hands, they\u2019re barefooted, and these surfaces on playgrounds get really super hot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shade, Middel said, can make all the difference. Whether from trees or large engineered shade structures, like shade sails and permanent canopies, playground equipment covered from the sun stays consistent with the air temperature around them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p>Nationwide, shade is not distributed equally. Wealthier communities often have more, researchers have found. Solutions to addressing heat also vary across the country. In Chicago, for example, shade is helpful, but wouldn\u2019t help address the city\u2019s summer humidity, Middel said, meaning there is no one-size-fits-all approach to addressing climate change\u2019s impacts on playgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>A better understanding of shade could still have big ripple effects. For years, the playground at Kiwanis Park has been under the cover of a shade sail, with trees surrounding the site, making it an ideal location to study how shade can impact the ways people interact with their surroundings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<h2 id=\"how-researchers-are-measuring-shades-impact-on-extreme-heat\"><b>How Researchers Are Measuring Shade\u2019s Impact on Extreme Heat<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>At Kiwanis Park, the lab has installed three weather stations at one playground. Called \u201cMaRTinies\u201d and pronounced like the drink, they\u2019re named after the lab\u2019s mobile MaRTY device, key to its research on mean radiant temperature. That single number highlights how radiation from the sun and the hot surfaces around an individual influence the heat that a person feels in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>MaRTY costs about $20,000 and needs to be wheeled around in a large cart, whereas the MaRTinies, white boxes hooked up to tiny solar panels, are just a fraction of the size and expense. They measure temperature, humidity and the mean radiant temperature, and, with a camera, count people, showing how playground use changes with weather and shade conditions. Every minute, the data is uploaded to the lab\u2019s servers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can look at the data across the seasons, across different temperatures, across weekends versus weekdays, across different times of day, and see how the space use changes,\u201d Middel said, allowing the city to \u201cknow how their playgrounds are being used\u201d based on the weather and shade being provided.<\/p>\n<p>The monitoring began in April. Researchers need more months of data before they can issue findings, including how people\u2019s use of the park changes as the temperature drops.<\/p>\n<p>At the playground, Pouya Shaeri scaled a ladder as Ameya Ajitraj Shahane handed him tools and equipment, a process the two graduate students with the lab have done throughout the summer to keep the mini weather stations operating smoothly. Unsurprisingly, the harsh temperatures in the Valley of the Sun can impact the MaRTinies as they measure the heat, draining their batteries and requiring frequent checkups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap center\" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-max-width-mobile=\"default\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-animation=\"fade-in\"  style=\"margin-top: 3%; margin-bottom: 3%; \">\r\n      <div class=\"inner\">\r\n        <div class=\"hover-wrap\"> \r\n          <div class=\"hover-wrap-inner\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"1280\" width=\"1920\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-1245x830.jpg 1245w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MaRTinythroughJungleGym-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1450px) 75vw, (min-width: 1000px) 85vw, 100vw\" \/>\r\n         <\/div>\r\n      <\/div><span class=\"vc_figure-caption ccfic-text media-caption\">Pouya Shaeri, a graduate student conducting research with the SHaDE Lab at ASU, adjusts his MaRTiny biometerological sensing device at the Kiwanis Park  playground in Tempe, Arizona on Wednesday, August, 21, 2024.

Parks and playgrounds have been a major focus area for expanding shade, as those sites are owned by the city, making it easier to plant there than at private residences and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>The job is not as simple as just planting trees and calling it a day, he said. Plants need to be maintained or they will die. The city\u2019s current tree population is beginning to age out, with its large pines not able to survive the city\u2019s rising heat. And trees can\u2019t be planted just anywhere: Planners have to think about the use of the area and how shade fits into it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of soccer fields at the sports complex [where] I could plant many thousands of trees,\u201d Adkins said. \u201cBut then again, that goes against playing the game of soccer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_widgetised_column wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t<div id=\"sidebar\" data-nectar-ss=\"true\" class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"custom_html-4 1articleright\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html\"><h3 id=\"wordpress-popular-posts\" class=\"widget-title\">WordPress Popular Posts<\/h3><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><h4 id=\"trending-posts\" class=\"widget-title\">Trending Posts<\/h4><div class=\"wpp-shortcode\"><script type=\"application\/json\" data-id=\"wpp-shortcode-inline-js\">{\"title\":\"Trending Posts\",\"limit\":\"3\",\"offset\":0,\"range\":\"custom\",\"time_quantity\":\"124\",\"time_unit\":\"day\",\"freshness\":\"1\",\"order_by\":\"views\",\"post_type\":\"post\",\"pid\":\"\",\"exclude\":\"\",\"cat\":\"\",\"taxonomy\":\"category\",\"term_id\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"shorten_title\":{\"active\":false,\"length\":0,\"words\":false},\"post-excerpt\":{\"active\":false,\"length\":0,\"keep_format\":false,\"words\":false},\"thumbnail\":{\"active\":true,\"build\":\"predefined\",\"width\":\"240\",\"height\":\"160\"},\"rating\":false,\"stats_tag\":{\"comment_count\":false,\"views\":false,\"author\":false,\"date\":{\"active\":false,\"format\":\"F j, Y\"},\"category\":false,\"taxonomy\":{\"active\":false,\"name\":\"category\"}},\"markup\":{\"custom_html\":true,\"wpp-start\":\"&lt;ul class=&quot;wpp-list wpp-cardview&quot;&gt;\",\"wpp-end\":\"&lt;\\\/ul&gt;\",\"title-start\":\"&lt;h4 class=&quot;widget-title&quot;&gt;\",\"title-end\":\"&lt;\\\/h4&gt;\",\"post-html\":\"&lt;li&gt;{thumb} {title} {stats}&lt;\\\/li&gt;\"},\"theme\":{\"name\":\"\"}}<\/script><div class=\"wpp-shortcode-placeholder\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69d59e1bab7d9\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row article-image\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px;

Trees planted around that area provide cover for the walkways and benches where parents typically sit. Every day, he\u2019s in touch with heat and shade researchers like Middel to find new solutions to the problems.<\/p>\n<p>Extreme heat is here to stay, Adkins said, and shade, both from trees and engineered designs, will be vital for mitigating it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the only way that we\u2019re going to have a healthy, vibrant existence moving forward here in the desert Southwest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story was produced by<a href=\"https:\/\/insideclimatenews.org\/news\/24092024\/arizona-fix-for-playgrounds-too-hot-to-touch\/\"> Inside Climate News.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En Arizona, los investigadores est\u00e1n estudiando parques infantiles en los que los aparatos se calientan tanto que pueden quemar la piel de los ni\u00f1os.
