Project Title: PARKS AT TEXAS STAR SOUTH TURF REPLACEMENT
PARKS/ RECREATION
Project Type: Sub -Type: PARK IMPROVEMENTS
B
Project Code: Priority:
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS AND/ OR MASTER PLAN:
In 2016, the infields of six ( 6) ballfields at Parks at Texas Star South ( Yankee, Royal, Wrigley, Arlington, Legends and
Veterans) were replaced with an artificial sports turf to extend the playability of the fields during heavy use and
inclement weather. This project has been very successful and has increased league and tournament play due to the
fields' durability and ability to run as many games as possible. While some surrounding municipal fields are closed
due to rain, PATS South has been able to complete both league and tournament games.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project scope includes replacing existing synthetic turf at Parks at Texas Star South ( Yankee, Royal, Wrigley,
Arlington, Legends and Veterans).

PROJECT SCHEDULE:
FY2026- 27

JUSTIFICATION:
The life expectancy of turf is 10 years. Turf was originally installed in 2016 at Parks at Texas Star South ( Yankee,
Royal, Wrigley, Arlington, Legends and Veterans), putting the expected replacement year at 2026. With the use of
these fields being exceptional between league and tournament play, the wear and tear on the turf is tremendous. To
avoid the turf becoming unplayable and to continue to program at a high use level, the turf will require replacement at
or around the 10 year mark.
