synthetic turf
Artificial playing surface
Synthetic turf is artificial grass made from plastic fibers designed to look and feel like natural lawn.
It's used on athletic fields, playgrounds, and residential landscapes where real grass would be difficult to maintain or would wear out quickly.
Professional sports venues often use synthetic turf because it holds up under heavy use and doesn't require mowing, watering, or sunlight.
The stadium installed synthetic turf to extend the playing season.
