Mesa sports park with LED to host grand opening Saturday

Mesa is hosting a grand opening for a new sports park Saturday. The Lehi Sports Park located at Center Street and Lehi Road in north Mesa has five multi-sports fields that will be primarily used for soccer.

The fields will be illuminated by LED lighting which will only be on when fields are in use and limit light pollution in the surrounding neighborhood.

Mesa acquired a section of the property in 2002 and the remaining parcels for sports fields in 2019, according to the release.
