4. Seasonal dome over entire large yard to extend use of playground in winter months and during inclement weather. Right now, the yard is inaccessible for extended periods after snowfall because the surface can’t be shoveled without damaging the surface of the yard. The children suffer from even longer periods of lost physical activity. The covid pandemic has shown that children with co-morbidities such as obesity, diabetes and asthma have higher chance of severe illness and death from Covid. Allowing year round use of playground for PE and recess will allow students to be healthier and reduce impact of illnesses. Example: https://www.yeadondomes.com/intro-to-air-domes/sports-domes/.
