Put turf in. Tired of running and hitting dog poop.

I heard a piece on the radio a while ago about astroturf, and how it had
concentrations of toxic lead in it that would shed off from the product
forming little pieces of plastic that are like dust and get on people's
hands and skin, are breathed in and cause toxic contamination of
the people who play on these fields.
I would hope that if they decide on an astroturf playing field that
they would do extensive research and get guarantees and ways to
measure any contamination and remediate if if it is a problem,
otherwise stick with grass.
