The outdoor Greek-style Woodward Amphitheatre in Fresno, Calif., sat dormant for most of the last 15 years due to the area’s intense heat. Daytime temperatures reaching into the 100s made it impossible for residents to enjoy the venue.
City administrators turned to the folks at Shade Structures to help devise a plan to bring the amphitheatre back to life. “With this project, they were trying to accomplish aesthetics, shade from heat and UV protection,” says Jay Rivera, Vice President of Sales for Shade Structures.
The multi-level shade structure transformed the tired, dull, useless amphitheatre into one of the most sought-after venues in the city.
