Foster Recreation Park Masterplan is Illuminated

Boffa Miskell is providing master planning services to develop the largest sport and recreation park in Selwyn.

The first major multi field LED light system to be installed on a New Zealand sports ground has now been installed at Foster Park and Selwyn residents were invited to attend the official illumination of the new lights.

When fully developed, the park will have around 20 playing fields and will be used by a range of sports codes for competition and training. The first 10 fields are nearly ready for use in the winter. The park will also include a large children’s play area, family picnic space, events space and walking and cycling paths.

The new LED lights are more energy efficient than normal lights and have a longer lifetime. They provide concentrated light in the evenings at the sportsfields, with little spill over into surrounding areas. On Monday 7th March the new lights were officially switched on.

Selwyn residents were invited to visit the park at 8pm for a short guided walk around the sports field area which will explain the future vision for the park, after which the new lights will be illuminated. Boffa Miskell provided the masterplanning and design for the illumination as part of the Foster Park Recreation Plan.
