Ralph Carter Park will be undergoing several adjustments over the coming months as the city works to enhancing safety and recreational amenities at the park.

Ralph Carter is located at 1385 Rymfire Drive and the improvements include adjusting the park lights operating hours, evaluating the field usage, tracking participation numbers and installing longer light bulb covers and repositioning the lights. These improvements began at the beginning of March and will extend through the summer, a Palm Coast press release said.

The park, which is open until 10 p.m., will turn off the field lights at 9 p.m. and the lights around the basketball courts and skate area will turn off at 10 p.m., the press release said. The city is adjusting the angle of the field lights and adding longer bulb visors as well.

Palm Coast has also installed "No Parking" signs within Ralph Carter and along Rymfire Drive after receiving concerns from residents. Additional parking options will be available during nights and weekends at Rymfire Elementary School, the press release said.

In May, the city will also halt field permits as it begins the several-month-long process of of regrading the fields, the press release said.
