Four-year-old Collin Windrich bolts from a slide on the playground at Shane Park in Port Angeles as his mother, Lissa Windrich of Sequim, watches on Tuesday. The playground equipment was reopened on Monday after being closed by the Port Angeles Parks Department in September 2022 after numerous tiles on the play surface became dislodged, creating a trip hazard for playground users. Delays ensued acquiring specialized glue and replacement tiles while waiting for adequate weather to complete the project.
