Enhanced Lighting and Security
New floodlights have been installed: two 50-watt lights at the Entertainment pool, two more at the Jumping Pillow, and two 300-watt lights at the Soccer field. This strategic lighting improves security, enhances the ambience, and allows for safe activities after sunset.
