Windy wrestling match at Southridge playground

Workers from Ray Poland & Sons in Kennewick wrestle a new 2,208-square-foot shade awning into place over the playground at the Southridge sports complex during Friday’s sunny but blustery conditions in Kennewick.

The 46-foot by 48-foot shade structure is designed to withstand 125-mph winds and is part of a $108,000 project that included smaller awnings over six benches at the popular outdoor play place.

Funding came from the city’s park impact fees, said city officials.
