Lighting Jack Shanahan Reserve

Projects updates

Jack Shanahan Reserve is a large park in Hercules Street, Dulwich Hill with various recreational facilities and open parkland.

Council is proposing to upgrade the lighting and make some small improvements to the park.

Council would like to light the skate park to improve safety and usage.

The lighting will be:

From dusk to 11pm
In-line with Australian standards
On a photoelectric cell (PE cell), at 100 lux level and be applied evenly to the skate surfaces.
Directed so that the light spill stops at the skate facility edge

We also would like to make some small improvements to be completed in mid-2023.

These could include:
