The Mandel Recreation Center is at the heart of our healthy community here in Palm Beach. Every year, it hosts countless sports, activities, and social events that boost local participation and foster community health and ties for residents of all ages. Still, one major shortcoming persists: the absence of field lights limits its offerings, particularly post-sunset, which can be as early as 5:30 pm in winter.

The proposed lighting is new LED lighting technology that provides highly directed lighting that seriously reduces neighborhood impact. The location of the proposed lighting is for the field that abuts Royal Palm Way, which is surrounded by commercial structures and zoning on all sides. 

The tennis courts at the Rec Center, located adjacent to Seaview, are already equipped with lighting during dark operating hours. This proposal aims to provide the field with the same level of usability during dark operating hours as the Rec Center tennis courts have.

We have an opportunity to transform our recreation center into a space that is productive, safe, and aesthetically conscientious of its surroundings during all operating hours. 

We need your signature rallying to install field lights to illuminate our community Rec Center field even after sunset. Please sign this petition and support our cause for a better-lit and utilized field at the Mandel Recreation Center.
