More and more schools across the globe are making the transition to synthetic turf fields because they recognize the long-term value and the benefits artificial grass poses. In an article posted recently by Channel News Asia, Journalist Lianne Chia details the push for this conversion by The Education Ministry of Singapore. Fields made with artificial grass are aiding in getting more girls involved in sports and reducing maintenance costs.
Previously, some girls chose not to join athletic teams because of the mud and dirt that were associated with their school’s traditional natural grass fields. Artificial grass sports fields eliminate this factor so that more students can pursue their interests in sports teams.
The Education Ministry has also found that synthetic turf fields are much less expensive to maintain on an annual basis. Sports fields used for primary and secondary schools are used at multiple times for multiple teams every day which can be damaging to a natural grass field’s integrity and be the cause of the increased need for upkeep. The durability of turf fields minimizes this need.
