An impressive $1.16-million upgrade at Softball City in South Surrey has enhanced the ballpark’s lighting with new energy-efficient LED fixtures, providing superior illumination for evening games and improving safety for players. This modernization not only lowers energy consumption by 40%, leading to significant cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint, but also positions Surrey as a leading destination for elite softball competitions. Mayor Brenda Locke highlighted the transformative impact of the upgrades, emphasizing their support for local leagues and international tournaments, including events like the annual Canada Cup International Softball Championship. With efforts to minimize light pollution and enhance safety in pedestrian areas, this investment reflects a commitment to fostering athletic achievement, particularly in women’s sports, and supporting the thousands of athletes and volunteers that utilize the park each year.
