A New Turf War

A New Turf War: Synthetic Turf in New York City Parks is the first comprehensive study that identifies the issues surrounding the use of synthetic turf and offers a series of recommendations on how to determine when and where synthetic turf is appropriate in New York City’s parks and athletic fields.

The document was created to serve as an independent resource for practitioners, park advocates, community members, students, and the media on the positive and negative impacts of synthetic turf in the city’s parks.
