Improvements underway at Sunnyland Recreation Center

A project to regrade the softball fields, install new fencing, reconfigure the parking area and add exterior lighting is underway at Sunnyland Recreation Center. Located on Washington Street just off of Mason Avenue, the center is home to Bethune-Cookman University’s women’s softball team and offers many youth activities. The $150,000 project is scheduled to be complete by early July.

The park remains open; however, the center is closed while the work is being done. The center will reopen June 6.

Report streetlights that are out or flickering

The city has a team from the traffic division who visually inspect lighting systems twice a month between the hours of 4 and 7 a.m. There are more than 7,000 streetlights in the city, and residents are encouraged to report lighting concerns. If you see a streetlight that’s not working or flickering, call (386) 671-8659.
