Lightning Detectors Installed at Hart Park

New lightning prediction system is designed to give park users a heads up about incoming storms so they can get to safety in time.

Playing soccer, a game of frisbee or out for a run in Hart Park? You can now have warning if lightning is likely to strike in the area, according to the city's website.

The city has installed a lightning prediction system at the park that will alert people in the park to the possibility of lightning with a 15-second warning horn and a flashing light. The horn will sound three short blasts when the danger has passed and the lights will stop flashing, according to the city's website.
