    • Hi Sue, sorry for slow reply, we are always trying to make sure the floodlights are on at the right time. Glendale, the parks management company, control the timer but we have had problems with getting adjusted to the right times. Please email Chinbrookmeadows@hotmail.co.uk if the lights are not on when you think they should be. Thanks
