CONCERNS ABOUT LEAD IN SYNTHETIC TURF FIELDS

Concerns about the presence of lead found in synthetic turf fields have recently surfaced. Please be advised that lead has only been found in synthetic turf fields where the fibers (simulated grass blades) are constructed from nylon. This was an older version of construction material. Our multi-purpose field at Bob Bende Park was constructed by the international firm "FieldTurf" using fibers made of polyethylene.
