Beginning to See the Light in McCarren Park

Those fences you might have noticed sprouting around the soccer field in McCarren Park? They have nothing to do with the Roebling Oil Field, as one GL reader asked. They're part of the installation of night lighting for the fields. Now, there's nothing unique about lighting athletic fields for night play. What makes this endeavor especially interesting, though, is that the lights are going directly across the street from the pricey buildings along Bayard Street, aka Karl Fischer Row. Which will, at the very least, make for some very interesting night views out the windows.
