Project Description
This project is part of an ongoing effort to update old playfield lighting systems throughout our park system. The new lighting systems will reduce light spill into surrounding homes and night skies, use more energy-efficient LED lights and provide safe, uniform lighting levels for field users. The existing poles and fixtures will be demolished at this field. New poles, fixtures and electrical control equipment will be installed.
