The Hellas Field of the Month comes from Pine Creek High School out of Academy District 20 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Eagles used Hellas’ Fusion Helix XP2 and REALFILL Infill synthetic turf system for multiple sports.
This project was one of 20 projects in the district wrapped up by Hellas.
“We have been blessed to be able to come out and play on a beautiful site,” said Todd Miller, Pine Creek football coach. “In this climate, it’s always nice to be able to play on a surface that you feel safe on and can cut down expenses also.”
One of the significant advantages to the turf that is used at Pine Creek is the amount of lines in different colors on the field that allows multiple sports to be able to practice and compete throughout the year.
Football, soccer, field hockey and lacrosse all used Pine Creek’s turf field.
“When we were able to put in turf, we were able to utilize way more sports—male and female, which is extremely important,” Miller said. “And you can also have multiple sports use the field in a day. The transition is easy.”
