Editor’s note: As Arizona continues to battle COVID-19, please follow social distancing and face-covering guidelines in public at all times, including playgrounds. A day at the playground can be tempting on a bright sunny day, but in the Arizona heat, it can also be dangerous. Children playing outside during Arizona summers can face 100 days or more of temperatures north of 100°F. Too often playgrounds use heat-retaining, unnatural surfaces in the middle of parks with no shade, especially!
