Washington Post: Artificial Turf

The Washington Post reports on artificial turf in their June 23, 2009 article: Artificial Turf gets a Foothold at Schools Across the Region.

Read about the brand new sod field (shown in photo at left) that has already been installed at Walter Johnson High School for the 2009 fall football season only here. The beautiful brand new sod field you see in the picture, with underground sprinkler system, will be ripped up in November when the construction begins on the artificial turf field. The cost of installation of a new sod field with underground sprinkler system? According to cost data supplied by Montgomery County Public Schools to the Montgomery County Council: $432,500.

And, for more information on the Safe Healthy Playing Fields Coalition, read their press release here.
