Boston City Councilor Matt O’Malley wants the city to play a role in mitigating one of the most common types of cancer in the United States. Taking a cue from Miami Beach, O’Malley is proposing that Boston should install free sunscreen dispensers in all 220 of its parks and playgrounds.

The Boston Globe reports that O’Malley says the dispensers could be paid for through either a partnership with a sunscreen maker or a company or organization wanting to raise awareness about skin cancer and melanoma.

“It’s a real public good that we can facilitate with little to no cost to the taxpayers,” O’Malley told the Globe. “This is a way that Boston can really lead. It’s the most prevalent type of cancer. Most people know someone who has suffered from skin cancer or has had a scare.”

Miami Beach unveiled 50 new sunscreen dispensers (SPF 30) in March with a sponsorship from Mount Sinai Medical Center and Destination Brands. (The Miami Herald reported that a year-old deal between the Destination sunscreen brand and the city on a Miami Beach-themed sunscreen is now yielding some extra revenue for the city.)

Boston’s dispensers would cost approximately $46,000 to be installed in all of Boston’s parks. O’Malley also noted that the free sunscreen is a way of helping people who can’t afford the SPF lotion.
