Case Study: Lafayette Playground achieves cooler, shaded play spaces with Parasoleil shade structures

Lafayette Playground adds shade in a $4.5 million renovation with Parasoleil

The Lafayette Playground in Brooklyn, NY, a park undergoing a major renovation as part of a city initiative, required a shade structure to keep visitors cool. Parasoleil worked with partners to provide a solution using their architectural metal panels.

Parasoleil implemented their aluminum panels featuring the Lemon Drop pattern with a Liberty Verdigris finish. This solution provided maximum shade coverage and airflow while creating a welcoming aesthetic. The successful project was recognized with a 2020 Merit Award for Landscape Architectural Site Design from the New Jersey ASLA.
