TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) — The soccer field and football field at Hummer Sports Park have new turf.

Both fields replaced the old turf that maintenance supervisor Aaron Becker says was more than a decade old.

“We feel like on the last turf it gave us great life with the product,” Becker said. “We got a good twelve years out of it and it was just time to make the change.”

.

Becker says the entire project costs nearly $800,000.

The fields will be ready for play in late July. Both fields are still without the sand and rubber that cushions the turf.

On the football field, the crew was finishing up the end zones with the Hummer Sports Park logo.

Becker says the field will eventually have a midfield logo.
