Please describe the project specifications

This project entry features our sophisticated fabric shade structure at CSM Martin R. "Gunny" Barreras Memorial Park in Tucson, Arizona. Spanning 78' x 60' with a 16' entry, this innovative design features 12 columns, including cantilevered beams, supporting seven vibrant shade sails. The arrangement ensures open areas for sunlight over the splash pad and concentrated shade over surrounding seating, balancing comfort with playfulness. Durable, weather-resistant fabrics promise longevity and minimal maintenance.

This structure not only boosts aesthetic appeal but also fosters a more enjoyable, comfortable environment for park visitors. The thoughtful design reduces the need for electric cooling, promoting sustainability. The shade structure meets the client's vision and becomes a vibrant focal point, encouraging community engagement and delighting visitors of all ages.
