Next summer it’ll be a lot cooler enjoying a picnic at Woodward Park.That’s because on Tuesday the Manteca City Council awarded a $202,199 bid to Haskell & Haskell Engineering & Construction Services of Knights Ferry to build a 60- by 60-foot shade structure over the picnic table area.And it won’t be your typical proletarian shade structure. The bid includes installing decorative masonry columns supporting the roof structure. Those columns will be faced with a stone veneer.The city is also moving forward with plans to build a $664,195 parking lot along Bridewell Avenue in the southeast corner of the park.
