Lighting up our parks this winter

From May to September 2024, you can be active at a time that suits your lifestyle.

We will be turning the lights on at five sporting reserves as part of a lighting trial project.

Training lights will be turned on from 5:30pm to 8pm, Monday to Friday at the follow reserves.

  • Forster Park
  • Peet Park
  • Miles Park
  • Centenary Park
  • Redcliffe Park

During formal sports training sessions, please use areas that are not in use by our local sporting clubs.
