Warringal Park has previously enjoyed lighting at the ground which was provided by Metal Halide lamps located on 4 x 18m high light towers. Whilst these lights were adequate to illuminate the ground for training purposes, they were not suitable for use during games. This lights also took 15-20 minutes to come to their full level of illumination, and were not energy efficient.

During the Summer of 2020-21, new light towers with LED lights were installed by Banyule City Council to replace these older lights.  The new lights are located on 4 x 27m high towers, with each tower supporting 6 new LED-type lights. These new lights, when turned on, illuminate the ground immediately, and do not require time to "warm up" the way the older lights did.
The lights are turned on via a wireless remote control, and do not require access to the clubhouse in order to be activated, allowing the ground lights to be used by various community groups as needed.
Once on, the lights provide 150 Lux of illumination, sufficient for both football and cricket competition games to be played.

The New lights were officially turned on in April 2021, at a ceremony held at the clubhouse, attended by members of Council, and representatives from both the Cricket and Football clubs.
