KENNEWICK, Wash. - Kennewick is spending a huge chunk of your money on improvements to city parks.
Close to $700,000 will go towards improvements and maintenance.
Repairs and replacements eat up about a third of that money.
Another $150,000 will go toward improving the Columbia Golf Course.
Most will cover the pro-shop.
We asked neighbors if it was worth tax-payer money towards the golf course improvements.
Those on the golf course weren't opposed.
Quirt Pierce said, "Sure, since I'm a golfer. I don't know if I wasn't a golfer how I'd feel but yeah, it's a good idea. It gets people outside, good exercise and its fun."
The rest will go to acquiring and developing more land near the Southridge Sports Complex.
