Example of a 200m synthetic grass athletics track

Clane AC in Co.Kildare recently opened their brand new 200m athletics track which has a synthetic grass surface.

This may be of interest to any clubs in Cork or Munster, especially those with a lot of juvenile members.

The artificial grass is 24mm in length and is built on a sand and silicon shock pad underneath. The advantage of course is that it can be used in all weather conditions.

The whole project including ground works and lighting cost roughly €240,000.

If anyone is interested then Google 'Clane AC' and 'PST Sport'.
