Port Angeles Parks and Recreation worker Darryl Anderson, left, signals to bulldozer operator Leon Leonard as fellow employee Brooke Keohokalole curls up a guide rope after the dragon mosaic from the Dream Playground at Erickson Playfield is lowered onto a trailer in Port Angeles.
Demolition has begun on the mostly wooden playground, originally built by volunteer labor in September 2002, to make way for modernized playground equipment later this year.
The dragon, which once had a playground slide coming from its nose, will be put into storage and later incorporated into the new playground.
