Athletic Fields of America (AFOA), a TenCate Company, has completed several installations of Pivot® Performance Turf across New Jersey, introducing its revolutionary product to the mid-Atlantic region.
Pivot is the latest innovation in artificial turf. It is intentionally engineered to provide athletes with the feel and performance of natural grass—without the use of black crumb rubber infill.
Recent installations include Pivot fields at All Wars Memorial Park in Linwood and Sabella Park in North Brunswick.
“Pivot Performance Turf has been a powerful investment in our community,” Eric Ford, councilman for Linwood said in a release. “We’ve been impressed with the natural grass-like experience it delivers and how it’s been holding up to all of the nonstop play our teams have put it through. It was a game-changer for our community.”
The Sabella Park project also involved extensive groundwork to repair a sinkhole prior to turf installation.
“We’ve had a great experience collaborating with AFOA on this project for Sabella Park,” Robert Bongiovi, Parks & Playgrounds manager for North Brunswick, said. “The team efficiently managed the field replacement, and we couldn’t be more delighted with the Pivot turf they’ve installed. Pivot is truly in a league of its own compared to other products I considered for the project, and the performance has been spectacular for our athletes.”
Additional completed projects include Van Brunt Field at Montclair Kimberly Academy in Montclair and Grekoski Park in South River.
“The continued adoption of Pivot across the country is extremely gratifying,” Joe Fields, CEO and president of TenCate Americas said. “Our global team spent countless hours developing a best-in-class product, and I’m excited that more athletes will benefit from Pivot.”
AFOA will continue installing Pivot fields across New Jersey this summer including South Hunterdon Regional High School in Lambertville and Mount Olive High School in Flanders. Additional Pivot field installations are scheduled for Ardsley High School and Brewster High School in New York later in 2025.
