Formerly a brownfield, now a
LEED Gold achievement, the
11-acre park's one mile of
paths are lit with full-cutoff
precise distribution 3000K
luminaires. There is also 4000K
"moonlighting" from speaker
towers (inset), revealing paths,
seating and bioswales. The
curved custom pedestrian/
street lighting poles along the
walkway/bike lane and adjacent
1st Avenue South (right) are
elevated on concrete pylons, a
lesson learned from the May
2010 flooding. The roadway
luminaire is 120 watts, and the
luminaire facing the sidewalk/
bike lane is 92 watts. Two
12-watt up lights highlight the
concrete housings.
