Hockey Queensland Presentation on Queensland Eye platform
The FIH believes that good sustainable hockey facilities are fundamental to the development of hockey opportunities for everyone, from the youngest beginner to the international class player. The move to synthetic turf playing fields means there is an increasing desire to use them over an extended period each day and this will often entail the use of artificial sports lighting.

Hockey turf maintenance
All synthetic turf surfaces require maintaining if they are to retain acceptable performance and create an appealing facility people wish to use, whilst maximising the life expectancy of the surface. There is no such thing as a maintenance free synthetic turf sports surface, and failure to maintain a surface will invalidate the warranty provided by the surface manufacturer.
