Artificial turf coming to Duncan Creek Park

March 18th, 2010 FinanceBuzz Posted in Dacula, Gwinnett County Commission |

The Gwinnett County Commission voted Tuesday to install artificial turf on a “multipurpose field” (here in the South, that would be a football field that “lesser sports” are allowed to use outside of football season! ;) ) and warm up area at Duncan Creek Park in Dacula.  The board cited long-term cost savings from reduced field maintenance as well as year-round field availability as justification for the project.  While I am critical of the board for their all-too-frequent missteps, I want to lend support when they do the right thing, and saving taxpayer dollars is the right thing.  Granted, I hate to see a football field marred with “permanent striping for…soccer…[and]…corners for lacrosse,” but that is a small price to pay given the upside.  Well done, commissioners!

      I think we should have astroturf on all our playing fields. Isn’t astroturf a government given right. Despite the cost, we need another property taxes increase.
