The City of Delta hosted a celebration Sept. 14 to mark the grand opening of the new synthetic surface of the Holly Park turf field. Earlier this year Delta council approved over $1 million in contracts to replace the synthetic surface at the East Ladner field.
Opened in 2005, the synthetic turf field and washroom/storage building at Holly Park cost about $2 million. A civic report notes fields at the time were created using synthetic turf fibres woven to a backing or mat with an infill consisting of crumb rubber made from recycled rubber and sand.
