Lighting upgrades at Schertz Soccer Complex now complete

“The LED lights provide better illumination than the old non-LED fixtures, enhancing safety for players, referees and spectators by reducing dark spots on the field. Additionally, the project supports sustainability efforts by lowering energy consumption and reducing maintenance costs, thanks to the longer lifespan of LEDs,” Christensen said.

The cost

Construction on the $1.8M project—which began Dec. 17—was funded in partnership with the Schertz Economic Development Corporation to advance “key quality of life” projects in the city and the parks and recreation department’s fiscal year 2023-24 budget, Christensen said.

The impact

The upgraded lighting system positions the complex as a state-of-the-art facility that supports the growth of soccer and other sports in Schertz, Christensen said.

“This upgrade makes the complex a more attractive venue for tournaments and community events, benefiting athletes, families and the community as a whole,” Christensen said.
