DALTON, GA — AstroTurf® continues to solidify its reputation as the industry leader in sports complexes and multi-field facilities, highlighted this year by a wave of high-impact projects across Florida. From Publix Park and Simmers-Young Park to the massive Boombah Multi-Field Sports Complex, AstroTurf systems are now central to some of the state’s most active and visible community sports destinations.
At the nearly complete Boombah Sports Complex, AstroTurf has supplied a comprehensive multi-field solution, including nine synthetic turf fields designed to support tournament play, high-volume weekly use, and a variety of sports. Projects at Publix Park and Simmers-Young Park reflect how cities and parks departments are turning to AstroTurf to modernize facilities, reduce long-term maintenance, and ensure dependable playability regardless of weather.
AstroTurf’s footprint in Florida also includes the first synthetic public sports field in Marion County, located in Ocala. While smaller in scale than a multi-field complex, the project is significant for the community: it delivers a consistent, high-quality playing surface, extends field availability, and sets a new standard for public recreation in the region.
These Florida projects build on AstroTurf’s track record with some of the most recognizable sports destinations in the country, including The Ripken Experience® venues and the USSSA Space Coast Complex. AstroTurf fields are the foundation of youth and tournament experiences that draw teams from across the nation. AstroTurf is trusted to handle continuous high-level play across dozens of diamonds and multi-purpose fields, weekend after weekend.
“These owners put their communities first by choosing the leader in artificial turf to surface and build their fields. Three of these projects are GC jobs by AstroTurf which shows our commitment to not only being the best surfacing company but also a commitment to being a respected field builder as well” said Wes Allen, AstroTurf Regional Manager for FL. “Providing a turnkey solution for these customers gives them comfort in knowing one group is providing high quality service from start to finish”
