Summary
Cypress's first-ever playground design standards were postponed so the Recreation Commission can refine them — covering adaptive swings, shade over hot equipment, age-split play areas, and keeping HOA and church playgrounds from being overburdened.

Impact analysis
Most existing parks don't meet the 50% shade rule, so playground replacements will be phased through the CIP budget.
Families, kids of all abilities, and park users citywide.
Private HOAs, churches, and daycare centers that would face permit-level standards for publicly accessible playgrounds.
