Frascott Park in Varsity Lakes is home to a popular playground built around a tall slide and climbing tower, and City of Gold Coast Council engaged VECTOR Shade Structures to provide genuine UV protection for the families who use it daily. The result is a series of hyper free-formed shade sails on engineered posts, their angular green canopies weaving between the play equipment to cover the space below.
The sails are fabricated from Monotec 370 knitted shade fabric, backed by a 15-year warranty, delivering excellent airflow and UV protection while resisting fading in the Queensland sun. The supporting posts are hot dip galvanised for long-term corrosion resistance. This kind of tailored, multi-panel design is a hallmark of VECTOR’s park shade structures for councils across South East Queensland.
The finished sails now give local families a shaded, safe space to play, protecting children from UV exposure throughout the day.
