Glow-in-the dark path for Fulham park
- Published
The Starpath is due to be installed in William Parnell Park, in Fulham, in March
Plans have been unveiled for a glow-in-the-dark path in a west London park.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council will use a spray-on coating to light up the main route through William Parnell Park in Fulham.
The Starpath will work by absorbing UV rays during the day and releasing them at night, creating a blue glow.
The council said the changes would improve safety without the need for "costly and intrusive lighting".
Councillor Nicholas Botterill said: "As well as improving safety by lighting up one of our less well-lit parks, Starpath is environmentally sound, with no ongoing energy costs or light pollution - and it breathes new life into old pathways."
The Starpath will cost around £24,700 and is due to be installed next month.
