Project Highlight: A Unique Spin on Shade at Marbles Kids Museum in Downtown Raleigh
Recently, we had the pleasure of working with the iconic Marbles Kids Museum in Downtown Raleigh on an exciting project centered around one of our favorite features: shade structures! This collaboration was all about enhancing the museum’s outdoor spaces with vibrant, creative, and functional designs—and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. At Carolina Recreation & Design, we take pride in creating spaces that are not only functional but also imaginative and inspiring!
The Power of Shade: Why We Love These Structures
Shade structures are game-changers for playgrounds and outdoor spaces. Here are just a few reasons why they’re a must-have feature:
- Comfort and Protection: Kids and families can enjoy more time outdoors without worrying about harmful UV rays. Shade structures provide crucial sun protection, making playtime safer and more enjoyable, regardless of season.
- Aesthetic Appeal: With unique shapes and vibrant colors, shade structures bring a dynamic visual element to any space. They’re functional and beautiful—the perfect combination.
- Enhanced Usability: Shade structures make outdoor spaces more versatile, allowing them to host events, classes, and other activities without worrying about weather disruptions. This added flexibility ensures these areas are used to their fullest potential.
