Brian Kilmer of Sitkum Tree Service falls the third of 15 trees Monday at the site of the Generation II Dream Playground at Erickson Playfield in Port Angeles. Cedars and firs that ring the playground at Race and Third streets are being removed to ensure clear lines of sight and to protect the new surface. They will be replaced with twice as many smaller, non-native trees to double the amount of tree canopy once they mature. The playground is expected to reopen Wednesday.
