Time for Turf

Arlington Babe Ruth (ABR), Arlington Little League (ALL) and other Arlington diamond organizations are partnering with the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and the Arlington Sports Foundation (ASF) to upgrade the diamond field at Gunston Middle School from natural grass to synthetic turf.
Why Here? Why Now?
  • There are 17 synthetic turf fields in Arlington for rectangular field sports like soccer and lacrosse, but only one synthetic turf diamond field (Barcroft #6), which is not available to 12-U organizations like ours.
  • Synthetic fields stay open after rainy days and require far less maintenance from volunteers.
  • 3,000 boys and girls play baseball or softball in Arlington and it's #Time4Turf for these athletes!
  • Gunston is the perfect spot for our first turf diamond, and the project timetable means you'll see and reap the benefits within the next two years!
 
  • DPR is already working to upgrade the Gunston field at a cost of $1.2 million.
  • Converting the field to synthetic turf raises the cost to $1.6 million, and this difference is our responsibility.
  • Through the Field Fund (an $8 per player fee that comes out of your registration) and other donations, we are only $80,000 away from fulfilling that goal.
  • We are 95% of the way to success, and we need you to get us to the finish line!
How Can You Help?

We are asking for you to make a generous donation to help us meet our goal.  It is easy
