All those pesky rubber pellets that get into your socks, hair, eyes, mouth.
They are more dangerous than you know. More studies and more results of the chemical that poison us.

Gardiner Park synthetic was opened in Dec 2022. Due to increased noise, traffic, lighting, late night games and loss of green space, 18 households have chosen to sell up & leave.
A real park adds value. Plastic parks are a misery to live near.

Gardiner was always a costly mistake for a synthetic surface.
$1 million to fix the wall

Baffling that any communities still tolerate artificial turf w/tire crumbs.
By 2019, researchers had IDβd in crumbs >300 chemicals, almost 200 meeting carcinogenic criteria & many not even officially cataloged by U.S. EPA.π¬

Save Gardiner Park π³π¦ππΉ 702 now they have Scully on raving about 'only anecdotal evidence' of injuries. Have they spoken to the Soil Scientists. Or is it the usual ALP denial. No more cricket at Arncliffe Park. Or Gardners?
So many agree. They hate the turf burn and the infections from plastic artificial turf.
No excuses, artificial turf has to go.
