Sportspitch de Ster Den Haag

Sportspitch de Ster Den Haag

At Sportcomplex De Ster in the Moerwijk district of The Hague, there are two sports fields: a natural grass football pitch and a sand-filled artificial hockey pitch with multi-sport line markings.

Location
Den Haag
Year
2024
Water capacity
600.000

Several sports clubs make use of these facilities. In the new situation, S.C.S.V. De Ster plays on the natural grass field, while hockey club HCDH uses the newly constructed artificial turf field.

Since the complex is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood, surrounded by a school and several apartment blocks, irrigating the field with surface water was not desirable, as it caused unpleasant odor nuisance for local residents. In addition, converting one of the fields from natural grass to artificial turf could also contribute to heat stress, which required a sustainable solution.
