July 19, 2007, Jupiter, FL – Synthetic Turf International (“STI”), a global synthetic turf supplier and installer of premium synthetic putting greens and related synthetic surfaces, recently completed a 1,800 square foot playground resurfacing at CB Smith Park in Broward County, Florida. Utilizing its SoftLawn®® St. Augustine XP synthetic turf, STI completed the playground refurbishment in tandem with the installation of new playground equipment and a large weather shelter canopy. Speaking of the project, Broward County Project Manager Shabahn Smart commented, “The turf is really beautiful and it’s safe. This is a really good surface.”

“The SoftLawn®® surface is a perfect synthetic turf for municipal and education facilities which are turning to the synthetic turf alternative. SoftLawn®® has an always fresh cut appearance, proven shock absorbing safety and stability characteristics. It never needs water or chemicals,” stated STI President William Campbell. He continued, “This surface will save Broward County maintenance expenses over its lifetime. Children visiting the park benefit from a gorgeous surface that’s far superior to shredded rubber or woodchips.” SoftLawn®® is comprised of a soft polyethylene synthetic fiber that is UV protected. In addition to St. Augustine XP, STI’s SoftLawn®® replicates other popular indigenous grasses such as Zoysia, Kentucky Blue, Rye, Fescue and Tipede.
