Penders Field at Longbrook Park

Synthetic Turf Installation
Stratford, Connecticut

The Project
The project’s goal was to provide a state-of-the-art synthetic turf field, improve spectator circulation and update baseball field amenities, while preserving existing perimeter infrastructure. The existing natural turf field was over-used and in poor condition, it required heavy maintenance to shift usage from football to baseball. The renovated facility provides for previous athletic uses and has the durability to allow expanded game and practice use without increased maintenance costs.
