Sutton Leisure AstroTurf gets a refresh

0

You’ll have to be quick off the mark to get a place on Sutton Leisure Centre’s AstroTurf pitch, which has recently benefitted from a complete rejuvenation process.

The facility at Sutton is very popular and is used for football, hockey and a range of other sports.

The rejuvenation process involves the replacement of the used, dirty sand with a new clean layer, which helps to keep the grass fibres upright – key to maintaining good performance. The result is an ‘almost new’ surface which players have really noticed.

One of the regular football teams said:

“The last two weeks’ games have been fantastic; it’s as if a new pitch has been installed! All of the players have said how much better the pitch has been for the past couple of games since there’s much more cushioning when running and it has helped to make the games more enjoyable.”

Councillor Seve Gomez-Aspron, Cabinet Member for Green, Smart & Sustainable Borough was delighted with the response.

He said: “Our aim is to continue providing high quality facilities for customers to enjoy and stay active. The positive response from customers demonstrates the value of investing in community facilities and encouraging participation.”
