We would also like to thank our staff and all who helped make our program a success this summer.

Revere is home to many exceptional athletes, record breakers, and even folks just starting out: All of our residents and guests deserve a recreational space that is aesthetically pleasing, safe, and dependable. It is yet another part of Revere that we can be proud of.” The new turf is designed to provide superior playability, featuring a state-of-theart surface that closely mimics natural grass. Athletes will benefi t from optimal traction, cushioning and shock absorption, which are expected to reduce the risk of injury and enhance overall performance. Engineered to withstand the rigors of intense use, this turf boasts exceptional durability and resilience. Its advanced material composition ensures that it maintains its appearance and functionality over time, even under heavy traffi c and harsh weather conditions. Committed to environmental responsibility, the new turf is made from eco-friendly materials and is fully recyclable. The material eliminates the need for irrigation, signifi cantly reducing water usage, and minimizes the necessity for harmful chemicals and fertilizers. The low-maintenance nature of the turf will also save time and resources for facility managers, as its innovative design helps prevent debris buildup and simplifi es cleaning processes. Furthermore, the turf’s aesthetic appeal — available in a variety of colors and textures — off ers a visually appealing solution for sports fi elds, playgrounds and landscape design. City of Revere Parks and Recreation Director Michael Hinojosa expressed his enthusiasm for the project: “I am excited to announce this transformative project as the fi rst of many under Mayor Keefe’s administration. We believe this new turf will set a new benchmark for excellence and contribute positively to the community we serve.” The replacement of the Rumney Marsh Academy turf fi eld underscores the City of Revere’s commitment to providing top-quality recreational facilities for its residents. This investment is part of Mayor Keefe’s broader initiative to enhance public spaces and promote community well-being. Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma
