SANA Sportpark gets new pitch
At the beginning of September, work will begin at the SANA Sportpark to convert a hard pitch into a natural grass pitch. Due to the delivery of turf, there may be obstructions on the adjacent roads on September 4. Sport- und Freizeit GmbH Offenbach asks residents for their understanding.
Until now, the SANA Sportpark sports facility had two natural grass pitches, two artificial turf pitches and a hard pitch with a clay surface and floodlights. Now, the hard surface pitch, which is directly adjacent to Heusenstammer Weg, is being converted into a grass pitch. With the conversion, a natural grass pitch will then be available, which can also be used into the evening hours during the winter months thanks to the floodlights. The SANA Sportpark will thus experience a significant improvement in training conditions, which will help to ease the situation for local clubs in the future.
"I am delighted that the conversion of the turf pitch into a grass pitch will improve the quality and quantity of training opportunities for the OFC's youth training center (NLZ), SG Wiking and all other teams based at SANA Sportpark. The aim is for the new pitch to be available for training and matches all year round in order to counteract the sharp increase in demand for usage times on the SANA Sportpark site in recent years."
Lord Mayor Dr. Felix Schwenke
"We are happy that, together with GBM Service GmbH, we have now succeeded in converting the clay pitch into a natural grass pitch. This will enable us to meet the requirements and demand of the clubs, especially in the winter months."
Andreas Herzog, Managing Director of Sport- und Freizeit GmbH Offenbach
The GBM Service employees from the Geschäftsfeld Immobilien division, who are responsible for managing the sports facilities, are currently preparing the construction work on site. The renovation work at the SANA Sportpark will begin in the first few weeks of September. The turf base layer was already delivered on September 4.
