Danger - Hot Slide! New York City Parks to Post Signs

New York City playgrounds will soon be required to post signs warning parents that equipment can get dangerously hot in the sun. The City Council approved a bill this week that orders the Parks Department to install precautionary signs at all of its playgrounds.Children have suffered minor injuries from hot equipment, mostly black rubber mats.

A spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would sign the bill. The mayor dismissed complaints about the problem last summer, saying “If it’s hot, don’t sit on it.”
