Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, July 20, 2026 —
The Safety Harbor City Commission has allocated up to $50,000 to address immediate lighting needs at Safety Harbor City Park. This funding is intended to ensure that the park’s athletic fields will be sufficiently lit for the upcoming Little League season.
While the approved funds will provide a necessary short-term fix for the park’s lighting, officials noted that a comprehensive overhaul of the entire lighting system could potentially cost nearly $1 million. The current allocation is aimed at addressing the most pressing issues to allow league games to proceed as scheduled.
Details regarding the specific nature of the lighting replacements to be undertaken with the $50,000 were not immediately available. The approval by the City Commission signifies a commitment to maintaining the park’s usability for community sports programs during the peak season.
The long-term plan for a full lighting system replacement remains a significant consideration for the city, with the estimated cost highlighting the substantial investment required for a complete upgrade. Further discussions and planning are anticipated regarding the potential future capital expenditure for the park’s lighting infrastructure.
