Parks & Recreation Sports Fields

Pedestrian, playground and sports sites call for durable, resilient and appealing selections. The “right” turfgrasses for these demanding applications must withstand frequent foot traffic – or even daily athletic play – and they should recover quickly from damage while remaining visually and tactically appealing. As importantly, the most viable turfgrasses can also be successfully maintained on restricted budgets.

Two Sod Solutions varieties are ideal for a wide range of park, recreation and/or sports field applications:

 

Celebration Bermudagrass – This fine textured bermuda makes a great first impression, with its unique blue-green color and fine bladed appearance. However, it is lower maintenance needs and very high performance qualities that have kept Celebration in play on baseball fields, soccer fields, polo fields, and even on race tracks.

 

EMPIRE Turf – This versatile grass is a standout in municipal parks, playgrounds, and commercial areas. EMPIRE’s lush green color and softer zoysiagrass texture make it visually appealing. However, it is EMPIRE’s improved weed, insect and disease resistance, as well as its lower needs for water and other inputs that make it most viable for the long-term. As one landscape manager for a large residential/commercial development said: “I fell in love with the look and then I was really impressed with the performance.”
