Transforming a Major Community Sports Complex
Spark Lighting completed a comprehensive LED lighting upgrade at Vandergriff Park in Arlington, Texas, transforming the lighting throughout one of the area’s major multi-use recreational facilities. The project included the replacement of existing outdoor lighting across four baseball fields, a skatepark, four tennis courts, the pool area, parking areas, and surrounding streets. By upgrading the facility to modern LED technology, Spark Lighting delivered brighter, more consistent illumination while improving energy efficiency, reliability, and overall visibility throughout the park.
The Challenge
Vandergriff Park is a large, heavily utilized recreational complex serving athletes, families, and the surrounding Arlington community. With multiple sports venues and public-use areas operating across the property, the lighting system needed to provide dependable illumination across a wide range of applications. The existing lighting required modernization to improve performance, reduce ongoing maintenance requirements, and provide a better experience for park users. Spark Lighting approached the project with a comprehensive, site-wide strategy rather than addressing individual areas independently.
The Solution
Spark Lighting designed and installed a complete LED lighting solution throughout the park. The project included:
- Four baseball fields upgraded with LED sports lighting
- Four tennis courts upgraded with high-performance LED lighting
- Skatepark lighting improvements
- Pool area lighting upgrades
- Parking lot lighting
- Street and roadway lighting
- Removal and replacement of outdated outdoor lighting equipment
- Installation, aiming, testing, and commissioning of the new LED lighting system

Improved Sports Lighting Performance
The new LED systems deliver high-quality, high-uniformity illumination for baseball and tennis courts alike. This enhanced visibility creates superior playing conditions for athletes and an upgraded viewing experience for spectators during night events.
Reduced Energy & Maintenance Overhead
LED technology provides significantly greater energy efficiency than traditional outdoor lighting technologies, lowering ongoing utility costs for the city while long-life fixtures drastically reduce maintenance frequency.
A Better Community Experience
From athletes on the courts and fields to families enjoying the pool, skatepark, and surrounding walkways, the upgraded lighting creates a safer, brighter, and more welcoming atmosphere after dark.
