Klemgard upgrades on display for summertime crowds

Summertime turns the focus on parks around Whitman County. Klemgard Park has overseen a facelift over the past year. At left, is a new bridge which was completed on July 11 for the hiking trail. The wider bridge, with two handrails instead of one, replaced the original log bridge, which dated to the park’s creation in the mid-‘70s. At right, the structure’s new roof shines in the sun while Justin Juneau, a seaonal park aide for Whitman County Parks, mows the grass at Klemgard Park. The metal roof was finished in June.
