DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Parks Maintenance Division is responsible for overseeing
and repairing various parks and facilities. In collaboration with the Parks and Recreation
staff, Public Works staff evaluated the lighting at Thornton Park and determined that
improvements need to be completed to support the various sporting and recreation
events hosted at this site.
At Thornton Park, the George Upton All Access Playground and basketball courts do
not have sports court lighting, limiting the play and recreation opportunities for the
community. Staff proposes installing new Musco LED light structures with luminaires
that are energy-efficient and include a 25-year warranty. These light structures will save
the City maintenance costs for many years, while also providing energy-efficient lighting
and creating safer playing fields. These new light structures will also facilitate operations
after dusk with area lighting. The Control Link and Monitoring System provides remote
light control to maximize lighting efficiency as staff will be able to remotely operate
lighting with respect to park use and programming. The addition of new lights will
increase the community’s sports and play options with lighted recreational amenities
that will activate the park, thus decreasing the vandalism and illegal activities.
