The city of Apache Junction is paying $841,470 to replace and upgrade lighting at two Prospector Park softball complex fields to energy-efficient and dark-sky-friendly lighting.
The Apache Junction City Council voted unanimously on July 18 to enter into a construction agreement with Veregy through a cooperative contract for the work at the park, 3015 N. Idaho Road.
Prospector Park softball fields Nos. 1 and 2 are the first and most expensive due to additional pole replacements and will dually serve the purpose of first-row lighting for adjacent fields Nos. 3 and 4, Parks and Recreation Director Liz Langenbach said in a memo to the council.
