Synthetic landscape turf is an excellent choice for venues wanting a natural look and appeal, is customer friendly and safe, without high maintenance costs. The Ken Rosewall Arena at the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre was looking for just this solution in the public area around the Arena.

The Ken Rosewall Arena Story

The new landscaping turf was installed as part of an $Aus50m renovation of the arena, which has a capacity of 10,000. The upgrade plans were announced by the New South Wales Government in January 2019 in an effort to boost its hopes of hosting the ATP Cup in January 2020 and included a new roof, upgraded seating and video boards.

Passion for Sport

TigerTurf’s agent, All Grass Sports, was approached to tender for the installation of the synthetic turf. All Grass Sports owner, Mark Edmondson, the 1976 Australian Open Champion and passionate tennis player, recommended TigerTurf’s Summer Envy 44 landscape turf was the best option for the application.

Natural Look And Feel

It is important to TigerTurf that products recommended are fit for purpose. TigerTurf Summer Envy 44 was able to achieve this and provide a relaxed natural lawn look and feel.

Tennis NSW loved it and it looks amazing. What a great commercial landscape grass Summer Envy 44 is…… All Grass Sports Surfaces install tennis courts as well as Landscape grass in both domestic and commercial projects.
