The turf field at Twin Lakes is becoming unsafe to play on. Multiple spots have lost the rubber/grass/turf parts - which already causes slips and potential injuries. This particular picture shows a section that has worn completely through the turf/grass and all the way through the base layer and exposes the concrete floor underneath. At some point, a liability waiver won't cover injuries caused by unsafe facilities.
There have been numerous twisted ankles and slips due to the poorly patched or non existent turf on the indoor turf fields at Twin Lakes Rec Center. Please find a quick fix while leagues are still occuring, and ideally a whole refitting of the field between leagues, it is about time for that after years of poor-quality patches.
Why isn't there a ramp leading to the observation area for soccer at Twin Lakes? Tonight I witnessed two individuals in wheel chairs at the complex who wanted to watch the soccer games. The first person had to be carried up and down the stairs and the wheelchair was left near the bottom of the stairs. The second person remained in her wheel chair and the person she was with pulled the entire wheel chair up the stairs, step by step. Why can't the city build a ramp for everyone to use to get up to the observation platform? This is not accessible for people in wheel chairs and it needs to be addressed. Thank you for your time.
The Twin Lakes Recreation Center continues to delay repairs on their turf field in places where the turf has worn too thin, in some places work all the way through to the concrete. We had multiple incidents in our league game this past Sunday where our players narrowly avoided serious injury because of this. Stepping on this spot the wrong way while running, or tripping or falling on it, can cause someone to tear the ligaments in their leg or break a bone. It's not easy to see when you're running fast, and not easy to avoid when you're playing a game on the field. We all have to sign liability waivers to play there, but we are also paying Twin Lakes to provide a safe environment, and this is not safe. Twin Lakes management said they plan to "have the company come patch once leagues are over. As bad as it has gotten we might move that up to spring break week." What does that do to protect our players for the next two weeks then? We need to do something about this spot now before someone gets hurt. Hundreds of people play on this field every week, including dozens of children on the youth soccer teams. What are they going to do to make it safe before the company comes to patch the field? Please respond so I know someone saw this. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards, Sarah Mosier 765-516-4862 s.e.mosier1@gmail.com
The turf field is becoming unsafe for those who regularly use it. We pay to rent that field out and are seeing more injuries due to missing turf, minimal turf, or very uneven repairs. This year compared to years past is claiming more leg injuries across a number of sports.
Turf is hazardous! There are large divots that can cause serious injuries to players. Please advise!
Unacceptable turf field conditions. Visible concrete on the field.
I am greatly disturbed and feel unsafe playing on this turf field at Twin Lakes. The gravel is shallow and unsafe for sports like soccer that involve a lot of sharp cuts and sliding. I play with the ultimate frisbee community on the weekends and many of us have gotten injured. I request that they install new turf or find a way to patch up the many holes and concrete patches.
The turf on the field needs some working on. Rock hard, terrible for knees or impact situations.
