Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: I have a question regarding the lights on the tennis courts at Wilson and Bryan Parks. I recently went over to Wilson Park and noticed that the lights which use to come on at 7:30 PM are no longer being turned on. The same is true at Bryan Park. Is this a permanent change until spring? I noticed at Wilson Park that although the tennis court lights were turned off the parking lights still were on. Is there any chance that the lights on the tennis courts, even if just on one court, could be left on for a little longer say into the end of November, in the evenings? Though cold the weather has not reached a point where it is unreasonable to play outside in the evenings. I realize the answer is probably no, especially in light of budgeting concerns, but I just felt it was worth asking. Thanks Sincerely, Chris Sontag

The policy on tennis lights is they are turned on mid March to mid October until 10pm. Once the weather takes a cold/wet turn in October..they are turned off for the season. There should be signage to indicate this policy at the courts. As you can understand, the demand to play at night during the cooler/wetter weather does not make it a prudent decision to leave them on. Incidentally, the lights are constructed to be all on a bank of courts or all off so one court could not be isolated to be lit. Thanks for understanding and please let him know it is Winslow Park.
