Solar Park Lighting for Councils and Public Spaces

Off-Grid Lighting for Parks, Reserves, Courts and Playgrounds

Green Frog Systems designs solar park lighting for councils, landscape architects and contractors who need parks and public spaces lit reliably after dark, without the cost and disruption of trenching, cabling or a grid connection. From skate parks and basketball courts to reserves, playgrounds and remote rest areas, our park lights deliver consistent, high-quality lighting with minimal disruption to the community and zero ongoing power costs.

Designed to AS/NZS 1158 for Public Spaces

Lighting for parks, paths and public spaces in Australia is designed to AS/NZS 1158.3.1, which sets Category P lighting levels for pedestrian areas. Rather than guessing at brightness, every project gets a project-specific photometric design that matches the lighting layout to the category the space needs.

Green Frog Systems park lighting projects are supported from initial site assessment through to advice on project planning, including lighting plan design and photometric modelling, so councils have the documentation they need at every stage.

Lighting for Every Part of the Park

• Parks and reserves: light open spaces, picnic areas and the paths between them for safer evening use.
• Sports and basketball courts: extend playing hours on community courts without running mains power.
• Playgrounds and skate parks: keep popular facilities accessible and safe after dark, especially in the early morning and evening.
• Dog parks: light off-lead areas for after-work and early-morning visits.
• Amenities and rest areas: provide well-lit, welcoming shelters, toilets and rest stops.
• Remote and community spaces: light hard-to-reach areas where a grid connection isn’t viable.

Whole-of-Life Cost Compared with Grid Lighting

For parks without existing power, solar avoids the biggest costs of grid lighting: trenching, cabling, a grid connection and ongoing electricity bills. Installation is also far less disruptive, so parks can stay open while the lights go in. Every complete lighting system is backed by a 5-year warranty.

Park Lighting Projects

Green Frog solar park lighting is proven in community spaces across Australia. In 2026, we lit the Britton Street basketball court in Gawler, South Australia, and delivered remote community lighting at Pukatja (Ernabella) in the APY Lands. Earlier projects include Stage 2 of the smart solar lighting at Lakes Entrance in Victoria.
