Information from Seattle Parks

Seattle Parks and Recreation will shut off the lights at most outdoor lighted tennis courts for the winter on November 4, 2013. This is an effort to create energy savings during the months when few people play outside. Parks estimates the savings from turning these lights off to be about $15,000.

Lights on at courts below stay on year round:

· Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill, 1635 11th Ave., (one court)

· Jefferson Park on Beacon Hill, 3801 Beacon Ave. S (four courts)

· Meadowbrook Playfield in northeast Seattle, 10533 35th Ave. NE (six courts)

· Miller Playfield in Capitol Hill/Central District, 330 19th Ave. E (two courts)

· Lower Woodland Park in northwest Seattle, 1000 N 50th St. (eight courts)

· Rainier Playfield in southeast Seattle, 3700 S Alaska St. (four courts)

· Solstice Park, in West Seattle, 7400 Fauntleroy Way SW (formerly Lincoln Park Annex, six courts)
