A new LED sports field lighting project at Ballyshannassy Park was officially launched in March, expanding opportunities for evening sport and community use.
The upgrade includes new LED lighting across all 3 sports fields, supported by a smart lighting system that allows light levels to be adjusted depending on how the fields are being used. This will help local clubs host more evening training sessions and games, supporting the area's growing sporting community.
The project also introduced on-demand lighting for the wider community. When the ovals are not in use by sporting clubs, visitors can activate lower-level lighting via a push button. The lights operate for 30 minutes at around one-fifth of the brightness used for organised sport, supporting activities such as walking, exercising and dog walking in low-light conditions.
Councillor Daniel Griffiths and Member for Ashwood Matt Fregon MP joined representatives from Burwood City Football Club and Box Hill United Football Club to mark the opening.
