Gemeentelijk Parkstadion is a football stadium located in Heist-op-den-Berg, a municipality in the Antwerp Province of Belgium. The stadium serves as the home ground of K.S.K. Heist, a club that has competed for many years in the Belgian lower divisions, including the Belgian Second Division and the Belgian National Division leagues.
Situated in a green park area close to the town center, the stadium has long been a focal point for football supporters in the region. Known for its traditional European football atmosphere, Gemeentelijk Parkstadion combines historic character with practical facilities for competitive matches.
The stadium was officially opened in 1953 as part of the municipality’s effort to promote organized sports and community activities. In its early years, the venue consisted mainly of open terraces and basic football infrastructure, reflecting the typical design of mid-20th-century Belgian municipal stadiums.
As K.S.K. Heist developed within the Belgian football league system, the stadium underwent several upgrades to improve both spectator comfort and operational standards. During the 1980s and 1990s, improvements included expanded spectator areas, renovations to the main stand, and upgrades to the playing surface.
Further modernization work took place in the 2000s and 2010s, with improvements to changing rooms, media areas, and stadium lighting, ensuring that the venue could continue hosting competitive league fixtures under modern football regulations.
Gemeentelijk Parkstadion has hosted many important fixtures in the Belgian Second Division and Belgian Third Division, particularly during periods when K.S.K. Heist achieved strong league performances.
The stadium has also welcomed matches in the Belgian Cup (Croky Cup), where smaller clubs occasionally face top-tier teams. These cup fixtures have historically attracted larger crowds and increased national attention to the venue.
In addition to league competitions, the stadium regularly hosts youth tournaments, regional football matches, and community sporting events, reinforcing its role as an important sports venue in the Antwerp region.
Today, Gemeentelijk Parkstadion features a covered main stand, standing terraces, and dedicated seating sections, allowing it to accommodate several thousand spectators in an intimate football setting.
The stadium includes key matchday infrastructure such as:
Player dressing rooms and technical areas
Media and operational facilities
Spectator service areas
Floodlighting systems that enable evening matches and improved visibility during competitions
Modern sports venues increasingly rely on advanced lighting technologies to provide consistent illumination across the playing surface, ensuring optimal conditions for players, referees, spectators, and broadcasting.
For decades, Gemeentelijk Parkstadion has been closely linked with the football culture of Heist-op-den-Berg. The stadium not only hosts competitive football matches but also supports grassroots sports development and community engagement.
As football infrastructure continues to evolve, stadiums like Gemeentelijk Parkstadion highlight the importance of modern stadium upgrades, including energy-efficient LED sports lighting systems, which enhance visibility, reduce energy consumption, and improve the overall matchday experience.
With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
