KEITH THORPE/PENINSULA DAILY NEWS Riley Peterson of R & R Construction of Carbonado applies adhesive to the concrete base surrounding the playground equipment at Shane Park on Tuesday in Port Angeles in preparation for the replacement of cushioned tiles that make up the play surface. The rubberized tiles began to become loose in 2022 due to shrinkage and weather, forcing the playground's closure in September of that year. The project, which will use as many of the original tiles as can be salvaged intermixed with new replacement tiles and new adhesive, is expected to be completed by mid-June.
