Solar Lighting for Parks
Parks are the heart of every neighborhood, which is why it is important to keep them well-lit and protected after the sun goes down.
Extend usable hours without the cost or permitting delay of running power through protected parkland.
Power through parkland is slow to permit and expensive to run.
Running power through protected or landscaped parkland is expensive and slow to permit, and most parks and recreation departments are already stretched thin on deferred maintenance. That combination is why so many parks go dark at sunset.
Three reasons solar wins in a park.
No trenching through parkland
Avoids the cost and permitting delay of running power through protected or landscaped areas.
Extended usable hours
Courts, playgrounds, and picnic areas stay usable into the evening without new electrical service.
Fits constrained budgets
No new electrical infrastructure to fund or maintain, which fits a deferred-maintenance-strained parks department budget.
The fixtures for this job
SCL2 covers courts and open areas, IPL and PLB handle pathways within the same park, all sized to how parks and recreation departments typically fund and phase a project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Often, yes. Because there is no new electrical infrastructure to install, solar lighting can be phased in section by section as budget allows, rather than requiring one large capital outlay.
SCL2 is sized for courts and open areas, with IPL and PLB covering connecting pathways. Confirm exact lumen output for your application against the current spec sheet.
Many parks and trail projects qualify for grant and infrastructure funding streams separate from general municipal budgets. Check current program availability, as it changes.
