Construction activity is in full swing on Recht Field and the main access bridge to the Recht Field complex! The old synthetic turf, along with the old infill, have been removed and repairs and improvements have been completed on the base of the field. The new base, turf, and infill have been installed, as well as new BVSD logos. The new infill material, which is installed at the base of the “grass” tufts to help them stand up, is made of crushed olive pits. This 100% natural, sustainable material will be used for all the turf replacement projects planned through the Bond program.
The old deck timbers have been removed from the access bridge over Boulder Creek. The new ones have been fabricated, treated and will be installed this month, following the replacement of the steel timber supports.
The entire complex is scheduled to be completed and reopened to the community by early August. Note: The entire Recht Field complex and the access bridge will be closed to the public, including on the weekends, until the project is complete.
