Artificial Turf Supply is always thrilled to hear about the latest installations of fake turf grass, especially when we discover that it provides a safe and resilient sports surface for community kids and athletes. The San Francisco Appeal reports that the renovated Mission Playground and playing fields in San Francisco are now open to the public, a $7.5 million project that includes the addition of synthetic turf playing fields.
Before the new installation, Mission Playground featured asphalt fields, very dangerous for soccer players who fell during games. However, the new playing fields are safe, durable, and can be used year-round.
According to the article, the Mission playground project was completed in two phases, according to the article. The first part included the addition of outdoor artificial turf playing fields, along with enhancements to the Valencia Street courtyard. Phase one also included the addition of tennis and basketball courts with fencing, and new planting, irrigation, and lighting. The second phase of the project focused on upgrading the clubhouse, the playground, and included repairs to Mission Pool, a part of the project that will completed in November.
San Francisco is not the only city embracing synthetic turf. Indeed, synthetic turf is being installed in playgrounds and athletic fields across the country simply because it is a much safer and more resilient playing surface than natural grass.
