Palo Alto weighs replacing El Camino Park’s old synthetic field with new synthetic turf due to durability, rain resistance, and high usage needs.
Palo Alto is deciding whether to replace El Camino Park’s aging synthetic field with grass or new synthetic turf, with a growing consensus favoring retaining synthetic due to its durability, consistent playability in rain, and ability to handle heavy use in a densely populated city.
While grass fields are preferred for comfort and cooling, they degrade quickly, require intensive organic maintenance, and often become unusable during wet weather.
Pilot programs for advanced grass fields are proposed at other sites, but experts question their feasibility at El Camino Park.
With limited park space and rising demand, officials prioritize maintaining current field capacity, especially for youth sports, making synthetic turf the more practical choice despite environmental and aesthetic concerns.
