The Technology Behind the Glow
AGT™ glow stones are at the heart of this luminous trail. These stones are made from high-quality, non-toxic materials that absorb and store natural or artificial light. As darkness falls, they release this stored energy, emitting a glow that can last for up to 15+ hours. This sustainable lighting solution not only reduces the need for electrical lighting but also adds a unique aesthetic appeal to any outdoor space.
Families, joggers, and park visitors of all ages now have a new attraction that is both beautiful and functional. The glowing path enhances safety by providing better visibility at night, reducing the risk of accidents and making the park more accessible during evening hours.
Indianapolis Department of Public Works representative Corey Ohlenkamp says the trails helps build inter-connectivity throughout the city. Moreover, the trail has become a point of pride for the community, drawing visitors from other areas and boosting local tourism. It demonstrates how innovative technology can be harnessed to improve public spaces and foster a sense of community.
A Model for Future Projects
The success of Indy’s glow-in-the-dark trail is a testament to the potential of AGT™ glow stones in urban planning and public space design. This project serves as a model for other cities looking to enhance their parks, pathways, and public areas with sustainable, eye-catching features. By incorporating AGT™ glow stones, municipalities can create safer, more attractive environments that encourage outdoor activity and community engagement.
