Seattle Parks and Recreation’s Post

Seattle Parks and Recreation will turn on field lighting on ballfields throughout the city on the evening of Wednesday, July 3 and Thursday, July 4 to protect the surfaces. The ballfield lights will be turned on at approximately 9 p.m. and most will be turned off at either 10 p.m. or 11 p.m., depending on the field. The lights will be turned on to discourage the use of fireworks. Fireworks are illegal in the city of Seattle and will destroy the artificial turf on the fields or surrounding facilities. The approximate replacement cost for the synthetic surface based on per average full-size field (110,000 square feet) is $1.2 million. https://lnkd.in/g4spTNey

I love this. Such a simple solution. Even if it's not 100% effective, the costs, in terms of time and money, are minimal.
