The parks along Alexandria’s waterfront will be getting an upgrade to LED this fall.
In a memo to the Parks and Recreation Commission, Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities Deputy Director Jack Browand said the lights in Rivergate Park, Oronoco Bay Park, Founders Park, Waterfront Park, and Roberdeau Park will all be converted to LEDs this fall.
“These parks are the next phase of LED light conversions following the recently completed phase for parks around Cameron Station,” the memo said. “There are numerous benefits to upgrading the existing light fixtures, including significantly higher energy efficiency in furtherance of the City’s EcoCity goals, and higher reliability resulting in lower maintenance costs.”
Browand said that the parks and trails will remain open during the upgrades.
