Eclipse pays for shade Members of the Keizer Parks Foundation announced the or- ganization will donate $25,500 toward installing shade sails over The Big Toy in Keizer Rapids Park. The Foundation organized a festival around the total solar eclipse in 2017 and is donat- ing what’s left of the proceeds toward cooling down the play- ground on the warmest days. “I want to thank the foun- dation and I appreciate it,” said Councilor Marlene Parsons, who said taking her grandchil- dren to the park last summer was sweltering at times. While the total cost of the project is not yet known, Keiz- er Public Works Director Bill Lawyer said don’t get too excit- ed just yet. “The shade sails will not be up this summer. The park will have to close for a period of time to put support columns up. We’ll close it after Labor Day so we don’t take away the toy during the summer months,” Lawyer said.
