Lights coming to Little League field near Clarks Summit

Little League Baseball players in the Abingtons will soon be able to play ball at night as work is underway installing new lights around the field.

LACKAWANNA COUNTY, Pa. — After years of court battles, a little league field in Lackawanna County is putting up lights.

Adding lights to Ackerly Field near Clarks Summit is something the Abington Little League has wanted to do for years in 2017, the zoning board ruled against the lights after neighbors voiced concerns about increased traffic and other problems. 

But last year, a commonwealth court upheld a judge's 2021 ruling that the league is allowed to install them.

Work has already begun on the lights, in Lackawanna County.
