Better Sports Field Use: Hybrid Grass vs. Artificial Turf

Politicians from M, C, and L inquired about the usage of Gärdet's hybrid grass pitches and the possibility of switching to artificial turf. The Sports Administration responded that hybrid grass pitches can be booked for 340 hours annually, significantly less than artificial turf pitches which allow up to 2810 hours, due to greater rest and maintenance requirements for hybrid grass. While a switch to artificial turf is complicated by the pitches' location within the National Urban Park, the administration is discussing options with relevant parties given the high demand for artificial turf pitches in Norra innerstaden.
