COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The installation of new artificial turf on three softball fields at Cottonwood Creek Park is now complete. The turf is a cost and water-saving measure that will save an estimated 2.8 million gallons of water annually. It will also allow the lighted sports complex to be used for other sports, like soccer, without risk of compromising field conditions.
Prior to the turf being laid, the sod from the ballfields was removed and replanted near the playground in Palmer Park, an area which was previously native grass and dirt, in summer 2020. Repurposing the sod saved the parks department $20,000 in removal and disposal fees and enhanced a popular park area.
Funding for the turf conversion was approved by voters who passed ballot measure 2B in the November 2019 election. The measure allowed the City to retain $7 million in excess 2018 TABOR revenue. These funds are applied solely toward a list of preapproved improvement projects in City parks, sports and cultural facilities, and on trails.
