ROSWELL, Ga. — The City of Roswell hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony March 6 to celebrate the unveiling of two new turf fields at Roswell Area Park.
The $1.4 million project, funded by the city’s bond program, involved replacing two artificial turf fields which were originally converted from grass in 2013. The new turf has 100-percent, slit-film fibers and a three-layer infill system consisting of sand and crumb rubber.
Both fields, Multi-Sport Field No. 2 and Multi-Sport Field No. 3, also received new fencing and netting with bigger poles and stronger mesh as well as new goal posts. In addition, the No. 2 field was outfitted with a new lines package, allowing the Recreation and Parks Department to expand its capacity for games and practices at Roswell Area Park.
The city also plans to complete a turf upgrade for Multi-Sport Field No. 1 by the end of the year.
