Park Maitland School Revisited

Back in March 2005 in the article titled “SYNLawn Survives Three Hurricanes,” we told you about a SYNLawn synthetic grass installation at the Park Maitland School in Maitland, Florida. Park Maitland School installed SYNLawn in two separate areas of their campus in 2004. When we wrote the article in March 2005, the artificial turf had been installed for a year and just came out of Florida’s notorious hurricane season. Hurricanes Charley, Francis and Jeanne made their mark on a lot of Central Florida, but not a mark on the SYNLawn grass application. With another year gone by, and a few more hurricanes, we called the Park Maitland School to see how the turf was holding up this year.

SYNLawn Survives Three Hurricanes

The Park Maitland School in Maitland, Florida installed SYNLawn synthetic grass in two separate areas on their campus last year. Park Maitland School is a private school for students grades K-6th, chose our artificial grass for the recess area and the school courtyard. The artificial grass is used on a daily basis and put through the ringer with over 200 students walking, running, and playing on it. Since it was installed in 2004, the artificial turf hasn't just endured the tortures of daily recess, it also came through three hurricanes that devastated much of Florida this past fall. Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne blew through the area within a span of 6 weeks, leaving behind months of clean up and rebuilding for Central Florida. While many landscapes were destroyed, SYNLawn came through unscathed. The students love it, the parents love it, and most of all, the faculty loves it. When the children return from recess they are not tracking dirt through the building. With all of the rain Central Florida receives in a year, areas of the school that used to get saturated with water would become unusable for days. With SYNLawn, even after a hurricane, those same areas can be used immediately after the rain stops. The artificial turf was a great decision for Park Maitland, and after three hurricanes, it was a smart one as well.
