Background Discussion:
Riverbend, Houk, Pinkham, and Constitution Parks are currently void of any interior lighting. This makes for a very dark area within the parks and has created some safety concerns. The solar lighting project will add one additional light-emitting diode (LED) floodlight in each park. which will allow people to use amenities and lengthen the recreational use in the evenings. This would be especially relevant during the fall months with the early sunsets. The additional lighting will also illuminate the area for maintenance staff that arrive in the early morning, helping them with their tasks and identify safety issues that may be present. The lighting will also be programmable to various hours and allow staff to dim the lighting during non-park hours to allow for security lighting to deter vandalism and other activities that can occur in and around park amenities;.making the area more visible for police, park rangers, and maintenance staff.
