Alexandra Park Sports Lighting Upgrade

All existing user groups and the general public will have access to the new lighting. Improved lighting from 56 lux to 100 lux will allow better scheduling of fixture football and cricket games. The growth in participation is pushing competitions to utilise grounds for weekday and night time fixtures. The use of lighting improves ground use, increases safety of training under competition lighting and assists in evening out the wear and tear on the ground. Current training wear of ground is confined to areas with safe lighting, so some parts of the ground wear more than others.

The current oval lighting is 56 lux and it is not suitable for night football and cricket matches. Community sport is now regularly played at night. With the expected growth in teams of the tenant clubs, increasing the capacity of the oval to train and fixture at night will become a necessity over time and will increase the carrying capacity of Alexandra Park allowing the sporting user groups to cater for known increased participation.
