After being happy with their precious Shaw Sports Turf products Menlo-Atherton decides to once again enlist Shaw Sports Turf for a new playing surface
ATHERTON, Calif., Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Menlo-Atherton High School, part of the Sequoia Union High School District located in San Mateo County, is a four-year public high school with an active athletics program and robust community. The school recently replaced the existing synthetic turf surface on Coach Parks Field with another Shaw Sports Turf field. After a successful decade with the existing Shaw Sports Turf synthetic turf field, school officials were ready to update the turf with a surface just as durable and high-quality as the last.
The field has had a synthetic turf surface for over 20 years, so the students and community are used to playing on this type of surface. When the decision came to install another new synthetic turf surface, the school went with Shaw Sports Turf once again to ensure continued playability, durability, and safety that the students and community are used to.
"We were long overdue for a new turf as our last installation was 12 years ago," said Paul Snow, Athletic Director, Menlo-Atherton High School. "This is our second time working with Shaw on this field and I think the district chose Shaw again because of the competitive pricing and positive experience we've had working with the company in the past."
Coach Parks Field is used for many sports, events, and activities that include football, soccer, lacrosse, and more. As a result, Shaw recommended the Legion NXT turf system to meet the demands of this multi-use field.
Shaw Sports Turf installed 88,588 square feet of Legion NXT 2.0", Shaw Sports Turf's newest fiber system. Including the exemplary ThunderBolt Fiber, which features both monofilament and premium slit film fibers, Legion NXT is a hybrid system that offers realistic aesthetics with an electrifying degree of durability. This system is built for strength and endurance as one of the most durable products in the industry.
The school looks forward to the continued high quality and performance they've experienced with the previous Shaw Sports Turf field. Snow notes that the updated turf will "allow student athletes and others in the community to play on a quality surface with very little maintenance required."
The replacement turf field was completed on July 17, 2023. The school has already been holding regular football practices on the new turf field, with the first football game to be held on September 9th, 2023.
"We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with the Sequoia Union High School District and the Menlo-Atherton High School in the installation of the new Shaw Sports Turf Legion NXT Turf System. We look forward to watching this school reap the benefits of a high quality, dual fiber turf system that will provide great playability through their multisport playing field," said Shaw Sports Turf Territory Manager, Matt Cohen.
