Editor,

Last weekend, during record-breaking heat, hundreds of people from the North Central neighborhood of San Mateo used King Park as a refuge. Families relaxed on the grass, sought shade under the trees and enjoyed the open, green space.

Add...that cigarette burns create a hardened spot of plastic that cuts and/or scrapes severely

Most turf still use anti-flame retardants that have been banned from children's clothing and furniture. They will fume during hot, sun baked days for those on the turf to breath it in...and if it does catch on fire...noxious fumes till it self extinguished....4th of July anyone...

Organic's (poop, urine, etc) do NOT biodegrade in turf...

Here are some links to help folks understand the over all cost of ownership of artificial turf...and to answer the PMs on that...
