Cleaning of green areas: sports facilities, play areas, parks, etc.

Imagine you have just finished your working day and arrived at the tennis court for a game to help you relax.

Or it is Sunday and you decide to take a run in a park where your local council has installed a fitness trail.

Or maybe you and a group of friends have an appointment to meet for a game of football. 

Now imagine arriving at these oases of tranquillity, ready for some carefree sport and fun.

How would you feel if you found the access paths dirty, the equipment covered in leaves and sand, and rubbish all over the terraces and sidelines?

You would quickly lose all motivation and the sports centre (or bike path, park fitness trail or whatever) would soon start losing visitors. Word of mouth would do the rest.

Very soon – and sadly this happens quite often – nearly new equipment and facilities stop being used due to a lack of routine maintenance. This is a shame because the investments needed to open a sports facility are often considerable.

By comparison, routine maintenance costs are minimal.

With good organisation and the right equipment, cleaning becomes a quick and economical operation, and highly effective in keeping such spaces clean, user-friendly and welcoming.

A professional sweeper is a real help in situations like this, thanks to high productivity and great effectiveness.

• A walk-behind or ride-on model should be chosen depending on the size of the areas to be cleaned. The chosen machine can then be customised with a multitude of options to cater for different needs in indoor and outdoor areas.
• Depending on the size of the areas involved and likely levels of congestion, powered sweepers with a suitable cleaning path can sweep yards and transit routes quickly and efficiently.
• They can remove leaves, rubbish left by spectators, and all other kinds of dirt.
• When used in multi-sport facilities, stadiums, football pitches, sports halls and other such venues, sweepers dramatically speed up cleaning, produce far better results and save many hours of work.

The Eureka Rider 1201 industrial sweeper is extremely powerful and versatile. In addition to achieving a maximum hourly productivity of 10,140 m2/h over hard multi-purpose floors and other surfaces, it can also be used to maintain and level artificial turf pitches such as those used for five-a-side and seven-a-side football and other sports.  The Kobra professional walk-behind sweeper is available in an electric version for cleaning indoor floors, and with a Honda internal combustion engine for use outdoors and in well-ventilated spaces.

Eureka sweepers collect dust, leaves, papers and plastic bottles in just one pass, and a special kit is available to uniformly redistribute the sand and rubber infill found on artificial turf playing fields (AstroTurf surfaces). At the same time, the bristles of the sweeper’s brush comb and restore the blades of grass, keeping the surface clean and functional for years to come.

Even the Picobello manual sweeper has pleasant surprises in store for sports facility managers. In addition to being ideal for sweeping walkways and confined spaces, this fully mechanical machine (no motors, no batteries) is environmentally friendly and extremely economical. A sweeper that is always ready to use.
