I would be very concerned about the impact of this project on the local birdlife of the area. They already have a lot to contend with as the park and this area in particular is already very busy and heavily frequented. Adding to this problem by lighting up the park until 9.30pm will absolutely have a negative impact on nesting activities.
Light up Lilydale Dog Park!
Light up the off lead area, encouraging exercise in winter.

My proposal is that with the assistance of Solar Sports/Arena Lights, we could light the dog park and encourage people to exercise themselves and their dogs during the winter months. There are arena lights available that last 4 hours with a full 8hr charge. This would light the park from 5:30pm-9:30pm and allow a decent window for full time workers to make use of what is already such a great asset to Yarra Ranges Council.
I approached the community with a petition to see if this would appeal to anyone locally and the petition received over 100 signatures in the 1st 24 hours and has continued to receive close to 400 signatures in just 4 days.
This proposal would be a benefit to any full time worker who doesn't have time during daylight. It would benefit any woman or man who wants to walk their dog in the safety of a well lit area. It would benefit anyone and everyone who has a dog that requires exercise (every single dog owner).

Great idea. Good luck.
Fantastic idea for Lilydale. Can't wait to bring my dogs here when they are installed!
Great idea to get both owners and their pets active in the colder months when the daylight is short!
Amazing idea!
