The infill is radial tire crumbs. There is nothing healthy about turf.

The life span of a synthetic turf field is 5-10 years. You are then looking at spending several million to replace depending upon the infrastructure.

The chemical exposure to kids is unknown.

In many parts of the US the turf fields are irrigated with installed sprinkler systems as the surface of the field gets too hot for kids to play on.

Turf fields are also prone to vandalism. We charge $10,000-$15,000-$25,000 and up to remove unknown paints that vandals have painted on turf fields. We have to use pretty strong solvents to remove the unknown paints from fields.
