The Park District of Highland Park recently purchased a battery-powered string trimmer, blower, push mower, and ride-on mower to go along with the battery-powered golf cart for the routine maintenance of the park. 

The use of electric equipment at Larry Fink Park will result in a number of benefits, including:

• Reduced air pollution
• Reduced noise pollution
• Lower operating costs
• Increased energy efficiency
• Improved air quality
• Improved water quality
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

In addition, the Park District added electric blowers push mowers and sting trimmers to Sunset Woods Park, Danny Cunniff Park, and The Preserve of Highland Park. 

Our trim mowing crew will also utilize electric blowers and sting trimmers along with an electric ride-on mower.
