PIERRE, (KCCR) — The Pierre City Commission has approved the purchase of artificial turf for areas inside Pierre’s new outdoor municipal swimming pool. Parks and Recreation Director Bryan Tipton says it makes more sense to use fake grass inside the pool area…
Tipton says they had quotes as high as 350-thousand dollars for the turfing and says they don’t need much…
The nearly 154-thousand dollar price tag includes installation and three to four inches of granular fill to provide drainage along with anchoring equipment. Commissioner Jamie Huizenga says the artificial turn should be cleaner solution for green space than grass…
Tipton says for a smaller project like this the use of artificial turn is about the same as planting natural grass.
