Parks & Recreation Department responding to #203504 re: the Capuano Field turf.

Official Text
To the Honorable Board:
The Parks & Recreation Department has evaluated the concerns regarding the repairs to the synthetic turf at Capuano Field. The turf that was replaced is a different style of turf, due to the fact that extra turf was not stored following construction of the new synthetic playing surface. The new patch is a different length of turf, which we believe is causing the optical illusion that the turf is not level. This repair is safe and level and is not a danger to users.
Moving forward we would recommend a strong consideration to replace this field. This field sees a lot of user hours, and the fact that the seams are stitched (instead of glued where lines are) indicated it is an outdated style of installation.
Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
