City to turf two additional football fields at Neenhouse sports complex; project tied to 2018 bond
Summary
Broken Arrow leaders discussed plans to install synthetic turf on two additional football fields at the Neenhouse sports complex, a 2018 bond project. Officials said the turf will reduce weather cancellations and is expected to last about 10 years; detailed contract or vote information was not specified in the recorded remarks.
Broken Arrow council members described plans to install synthetic turf on two additional football fields at the Neenhouse sports complex, part of a 2018 bond project.
Councilor Lisa Ford said the turf work will cover fields 1 and 4; two other fields at the complex already have turf. "We get a lot of rain, and a lot of times we get it all at once," Ford said, noting wet fields frequently delay or cancel games and events. She added the complex is used by multiple schools, including Broken Arrow Public Schools and Union Public Schools, and is available to private schools and community groups.
Ford described the turf as expensive but durable, saying she expects it to "last about 10 years." The meeting transcript refers to the project as part of the 2018 bond program, but the excerpt does not include contract numbers, cost estimates for the turf installation, or a roll‑call vote.
Councilors framed the upgrade as a community project that will reduce schedule disruptions for youth sports, interscholastic events and tournaments. Additional scheduling, vendor selection and construction timing were not specified in the remarks captured here.
