At Artificial Turf Supply, we are always thrilled to hear about the impact synthetic turf has on schools and young adults. MercuryNews.com reports that Branciforte Middle School in Santa Cruz, CA is about to spend $2.1 million this summer to replace its current recreation field with outdoor artificial turf for its soccer and softball fields.
According to the article, the new synthetic playing fields will increase the opportunity of physical exercise for middle school students and improve the school’s overall sense of pride.
Branciforte teacher Joe Hedgecock told the paper that while the current field is “great for egrets and other critters,” it is not suitable for teaching. He added, “The possibility of a field that’s always usable is just awesome.”
