Shade sails for the splash park at the Mineola Civic Center went up Monday morning.

The project of the Mineola Kiwanis Club was accomplished by Robbie Ballard of Yellowjacket Welding, who built the structures to hold the sails.

The club received a grant to help with the project and collected additional funds, including a change jar at club meetings.
