Mayor George Greiss said the shade sails were placed at parks that were popularly attended, especially during warmer times of year.

“It’s important that are playgrounds are accessible all year round so that families can get outdoors and enjoy the great play equipment at our parks,” Dr Greiss said.

New shade sail locations include:

• Digger Black Reserve, Ingleburn
• Eschol Park Sports Complex, Eschol Park
• Kenny Reserve, Bradbury
• Lorraine Cibilic Reserve, Woodbine
• Macquarie Fields Park, Macquarie Fields
