Want the "dirt" on what's happening with our turf fields?
The synthetic turf fields at Town Center Community Park East have been closed for most the summer. During the synthetic turf replacement process geotechnical exams were conducted on the fields that indicated a higher ground water table than anticipated and subsequent moisture in the synthetic turf base. This required removal of the existing turf and long periods of dry time prior to beginning the official project of replacing the synthetic turf fields.
The turf installation project is funded by grants from Supervisor Anderson's office, community groups, and the City of Santee, with total project cost of $1,003,230.
The City of Santee will begin construction for the synthetic turf replacement project at Town Center Community Park East starting Monday, August 19. The entire park will be closed until project completion which is anticipated to be by early October. This will include the closure of the walking trails, restrooms, playground, and parking lots.
We've got plenty of other open parks and trails you can enjoy in Santee! Check out parks and trails page for more information.
