New artificial turf fields are ready for football at three Cobb County high schools. The SPLOST III-funded fields are ready for use at Kennesaw Mountain, South Cobb and Walton high schools. A new turf field at Pope High School is expected to be ready for the first home game on August 27, the district announced Thursday.
Installations at Campbell, Osborne and Pebblebrook are expected to be completed a few weeks into the fall semester. Wheeler, Kell, Sprayberry, Harrison and Lassiter high schools are scheduled for turf installation later this school year. The final phase, scheduled for summer 2011, will include North Cobb, Allatoona, Hillgrove and McEachern high schools.
The artificial turf fields are among projects approved by voters in the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax referendum in 2008, and are being built at a total cost of $9.3 million.
