[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whitman, Einstein, RM and JW were done by the same company, who supposedly fixed the problems after RM pointed them out (layered the filler rather than mixing). WJ is being redone right now by a different company.

I get that some don't like turf, but MCPS is unable to maintain grass fields when they are used by so many (ESs used to be 350-450, now built to 740, MSs used to be 900 now being built to 1200 and Pyle already over 1500, and HSs used to be 2000-2400, now being built to 2700). When being built to X, MCPS won't do anything to relieve overcrowding until the schools reach 150% of X and even then maybe not.

Most, maybe many, MCPS fields are being well overused from their original intent, and end up dirt, mud, gravel and holes.  So I will take turf abraisions over divots that break ankles and cause falls that break wrists any day. [/quote]

Turf is far better than overused crappy grass fields. Aside from what you mentioned above, there are lots of twigs/branches that makes it very dangerous when the kids fall in them. Well groomed and maintained grass fields at Soccerplex is great and much better than turf but it’s extremely weather sensitive. [/quote]
