Granite Shoals has reopened its synthetic turf soccer fields at Quarry Park, 2221 N. Phillips Road, after recent damage prompted a temporary closure.

According to City Manager Sarah Novo, the fields have reopened to the public while professional evaluations and repair estimates are completed following paint damage caused during a private rental event. The city anticipates another temporary closure to complete repairs and will provide as much advance notice as possible. The fields were originally closed July 8. 

“The city has been in communication with the individual responsible, who has acknowledged responsibility and expressed a commitment to working with the city to resolve the matter,” Novo told DailyTrib. 

The city is coordinating with professional synthetic turf specialists to evaluate the extent of the damage and determine the most appropriate repair plan.

“We appreciate the community’s patience, understanding, and support as we work diligently to restore this valued facility to the high standard our residents expect,” she said.
