The lighting installation project will start on approximately June 14th.  A condition of the project is that the fields are to be available each night after 4:30 and no work can be performed on the weekends, so their should be no impact to field availability unless something unforeseen occurs.  The contractor has 120 days from the start of construction to finish the project.  There is the possibility that the lights might not be available until near the end of the fall season.  Please be aware that there are sometimes delays associated with Dominion Power and we have no control over when they will actually bring in the service.

Anticipation is building for the 2008 park bond project that will add lighting all six fields at Pine Ridge Park.  The project kicked off in September and is early in the design phase with completiion expected by fall 2010.

The addition of lights to athletic fields allows use into the evening and expands field use capacity. One rectangle field will be converted to turf.  Field lighting locations will include three diamond fields and three rectangular fields at Pine Ridge Park.
