Third Solar Light in Park
Though there were some issues at first, there is now a new, 3rd, solar light in the park. Again, the objective was to provide light on and around the basketball court as well as the west side entry pathway.

The ramada in the smaller park will…

Solar Light Added In Park
We’ve added a new solar light in the large park just off the side of the basketball court. The goal is the light the darker side of the park and it seems to be doing just fine in that area. We will be testing it out for a few months and possibly will be adding a few more if it works out. We may add one above the basketball net to help light the court as well. While we know thinning the trees will help with that, having a light dedicated to the court would be help all year round.
