Hooes Road Park Lighting Project
The Fairfax County Park Authority has considered a proposal by Springfield South-County Youth Club (SYC) to install athletic lighting at Field #2 and #3 of Hooes Road Park. The lighting improvements will facilitate additional field use on existing fields.
As part of consideration of the proposal and to better understand the desire of the community, public meetings were conducted on April 23 and May 29, 2019.

The following conditions and/or actions will help mitigate concerns raised regarding the field lighting:
