If it were me, I would list this under Lawn Care. There are several similarities between the two, including turf species, mowing techniques, and herbicide applications. Nkyle784. (talk) 2:11, 20 October 2016. Nkyle784 ( talk) 06:12, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
This is a quality article as each fact is referenced with an unbiased voice and source. However, I believe that the article could go a bit more in depth on some of the subtopics it chose to include. Specifically, the "Choice of soil" section which was underrepresented. This discussion on native soils should go more in depth on how to prevent these soils from becoming compact and water resistant. The last section "Water Management in Sand-based athletic fields" could follow this native soil discussion to improve the overall flow of the article. This due to the fact that it describes water use techniques, along with methods that prevent soil compaction, such as aerification and vertical mowing. Nkyle784 ( talk) 12:37, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
To "Wikify" the article means to provide links to Wikipedia articles on uncommon terms. The authors should read the article carefully and determine what terms might be confusing to a general reader, and search for appropriate Wikipedia articles on them. A lot of time you can simply put a pair of brackets and on each side of a word and a link will appear; but be sure and click on the link thereby created to make sure it is the right usage.
For example, the term "amendment" may not be known to people who do not engage in gardening or agriculture. You would not link to Amendment, as that is a disambiguation page. You could link to Soil conditioner, but that may not be term you want to use. You can however write it [[Soil conditioner|soil amendment]], which will appear as soil amendment; or as [[Soil conditioner|amendment]] which will appear as amendment; both link to the proper page. Don't go overboard by linking common terms, (see Wikipedia:Make_only_links_relevant_to_the_context) but keep in mind that terms or usages well-known to you may be foreign to a layperson.

I think that any current discussion on sand-based athletic fields should reference ASTM standard F2396 which cover this topic for sand-based athletic field construction. 75.107.254.65 ( talk) 18:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
