Campaign Continues For Lighting Emerson Soccer Fields

Terry Wolf, superintendent of Buildings and Grounds for the Park Ridge Park District, announced plans to make a presentation later this month to the Park Ridge-Niles School Dist. 64 board to seek permission to install LED lights on Emerson Middle School’s playing fields. This would help accommodate more evening games for the Park Ridge Soccer Club. Emerson is in Niles, as are most of the neighbors north of Oakton who are closest to the fields. This means clearing permissions from the school district and the village of Niles, and addressing neighbors’ concerns.
