| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the city of Kent, Washington, recipient of Sports Illustrated's "Sportstown" award. Explains that "Kent's first-class programming and top-notch facilities have made the city's Parks and Recreation Department the Pacific Northwest's latest success story." States that "the use of the fields became so great that the city decided it needed to begin regulating how the facilities were used." Explains that Kent uses a three-way ryegrass on its fields, which they overseed and aerate in the spring and fall. States that "the majority of Kent's recreation fields have inground irrigation, and this helps the parks' staff fine-tune turfgrass growing conditions." Mentions that the construction of a synthetic field used for flag football, rugby games and other activities has reduced the wear on natural fields. |
