New Park Lighting Proposal on Tonight's Agenda

Feasterville Trevose, PA · June 30, 2026

The humidity is holding off for now, making it a perfect morning to catch the early breeze at Playwicki Farm before the afternoon heat settles in. If you’re heading toward the municipal building later, expect the parking lot to be a bit tighter than usual for the Tuesday night session.

📰 The Lead

The Lower Southampton Township Board of Supervisors meets tonight at 7:30 PM, and the top of the docket features a proposal to overhaul the lighting systems at Russell Elliot Memorial Park. The plan aims to replace aging fixtures with motion-activated LED arrays, a move intended to both curb energy costs and improve visibility for evening walkers. Residents have voiced concerns about dark patches near the tennis courts for months, and this $85,000 grant-funded project is the township’s formal response. If the board signs off tonight, the procurement process begins immediately, with installation potentially wrapping up before the fall sports season kicks into high gear. Public comment is encouraged, especially regarding the "dark sky" compliance of the new bulbs to ensure neighboring homes aren't flooded with glare.
