The new artificial turf fields at the sports centre Petit Chemin Vert (Korte Groenweg) consist of two football pitches and a rugby field. The artificial turf has to increase the quality and comfort of the sports.

Benefits artificial grass

The artificial pitches are a good solution to bare, too muddy or too hard pitches. The clubs will be able to get more training, matches and/or tournaments on the fields, that are constantly available. Lawns can only be used for 3 hours a day. The artificial pitches are also not closed from mid May to mid August, when ordinary lawns have to be sown again. An artificial turf can thus be used 5 times more than a normal grass field.

The maintenance is also less than for ordinary grass: brushing once a week and leveling once a year will do.

Ecological fiber

The synthetic turf is an ecological type. It also disseminates no unpleasant odor during hot summer months, unlike other types. High fiber of 60 and 70 millimeters replaces the grass.

The Brussels Capital Region, the Cocof and the City of Brussels collaborated on the project, that costs 2.200.000 euro.
