Lighting has been installed at the Boondah Road field in Warriewood by Northern Beaches Council, which will enable clubs to run safer, well-lit training sessions and games throughout the darker months.
Field 2 on the corner of Jackson and Boondah Roads is used by Narrabeen Football Club. The full-sized senior field is now equipped with four light poles featuring energy-efficient LED lighting that meets current Australian standards.
The lights will operate under a central control system and sporting clubs will have the ability to switch to a training mode, reducing energy consumption and lowering field usage costs.
New lighting will also be installed and operated between dawn and dusk along the shared path from the B-Line bus stop to Boondah Road, improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists in the community.
The project is funded by the Warriewood Development Contributions Plan and the Manly Warringah Football Association.
This location is in addition to a number of lighting projects council has completed in the last couple of months including Keirle Park in Manly with the installation of seven light poles with efficient LED lights and upgrades to lighting at Field 1 of Lionel Watts Reserve.
