According to Lincoln Park District director Becky Strait, the LPD maintenance staff consisting of Vern Haseley, Tony Meyer and Reggie Kirby have been hard at work this week making a big improvement in the indoor sports complex. The crew has replaced 63 light fixtures, transitioning from fluorescent lights to LED lighting. The old lighting was insufficient for the facility needs. With the new fixtures the lumen levels have been raised making for brighter clearer vision inside the complex. Strait said that the new lighting does not require a warm-up and cool down period, lighting comes on quicker and is obviously brighter. She said that already the upgrade is getting positive feedback from patrons.
