This project provides for installation of a new natural grass field at North Potomac Community Center to replace the existing artificial turf field that is approaching the end of its useful life. The original field was constructed as part of the North Potomac Community Center capital project completed in the Fall of 2016.

The 62,776 square foot turf field at North Potomac Community Center is approaching the end of its anticipated lifespan, expected within the next two years. The impact test, which assesses injury and concussion risks, already shows declining results. Within a few years, it will likely fail to meet safety standards and may become unusable. The new field will require an ongoing operating budget impact for irrigation, seeding and upkeep.
