Improve Baseball Experience at Dellwood Park
We need lighting added to the baseball fields at Dellwood Park so our Pinto, Pony, and Colt level athletes can finish their full season without games being cut short by the early sunset.
We are already in the early stages of fall, and our players are seeing games negatively affected as daylight fades earlier each evening. When the light goes, the field goes with it, and our athletes lose the chance to play the full game they prepared for. That is not fair to the players, their families, or the many volunteers who support them.
The LBB Board has continued discussions with the Park District about the importance of adding lighting to these fields. We support that effort and ask the Park District to move this forward. Lighting would help ensure that all athletes in our communities are offered a fair opportunity to complete their full season at Dellwood Park.
This is about more than convenience. It is about giving young athletes a real chance to practice, compete, and finish what they started. It is about making sure the season is not quietly shortened for some teams just because the sun sets too early.
We ask the Park District to listen to the LBB community and act now to improve the baseball experience at Dellwood Park.

It’s a shame this program can’t offer night games to extend the amount of playing time the growing program needs. Every other significant program has lights for their fields.
The limited lighting at Dellwood truly limits the potential of the Lockport Baseball program and the players and families. This park needs some serious catching up to compete with other neighboring districts, which are able to provide fuller programs for their residents. Lights, bathrooms and ADA compliance really need to be addressed.
As a parent of 2 boys who play baseball this is a great idea. Let the kids play under some lights.
We need to upgrade our facilities to compete with the surrounding areas. Out park has the the space and ability to hold major tournaments but with out upgrades to the fields such as some lore turf, better care, and lights we can’t compete
More baseball games
As a parent, I would love to see lights added to the Dellwood baseball fields. Program continues to grow, and having lights would give kids more opportunities to practice and play while making better use of the fields
My grandson’s play there and it would make great memories

Investing in Dellwood by modernizing our current baseball fields is essential to remain competitive with neighboring towns who continue to expand. Adding lights is long overdue, specifically for player’s safety.
