Highlight Reel: Schlitt Park
Bringing the Community Closer
Recently, Sporturf™ dealer All Synthetic Group-Midwest, and J & L Strawn Sports Construction installed a project at the legendary Schlitt Park located in Springfield, IL. Schlitt Park is a 5-acre neighborhood park that was added to the park system in 1971. Springfield Southwest Baseball Association and the Springfield Park District wanted to transform and equip Schlitt Park with lighting upgrades, backstop fencing, netting, windscreens, dugouts, press box and an all-weather synthetic infield. Altogether, this created a dramatic change in the facility and made the field suitable for play for years to come.
