Shanghai West Bund Baseball Park Hosts 2026 CPB Summer Solstice League with MEGIAS Clay Surface
2026-08-19
Shanghai West Bund Baseball Park officially opened along the Huangpu River and became one of the main venues for the 2026 CPB China Professional Baseball City League Summer Solstice Series.
The new venue welcomed six clubs, including Shanghai Orcas, Changsha Want Want, Beijing CP Dragon, Xiamen Dolphins, Shenzhen Blue Sox, and Fuzhou Sea Warriors. The competition brought together players from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas markets, creating a higher-level baseball event in one of Shanghai’s newest waterfront sports landmarks.
A New Baseball Venue on the Shanghai Waterfront
Shanghai West Bund Baseball Park is a newly built professional baseball venue located in the central urban area of Shanghai.
The venue covers approximately 13,000 square meters and includes fixed spectator seating for around 1,500 people. Its location beside the Huangpu River gives the stadium a distinctive waterfront setting and connects the sports venue with the wider West Bund cultural and recreational district.
During the 2026 CPB Summer Solstice League, the Shanghai venue served as one of the core competition sites and hosted a large portion of the season’s games.
Professional Baseball Requires a Stable Playing Surface
Baseball field construction involves more than creating a visually complete venue. The infield clay must support running, sliding, fielding, drainage, and regular maintenance under intensive competition conditions.
For this project, the infield area used customized clay supplied through ASHER Sports and the MEGIAS brand.
The clay system was selected and prepared for baseball field applications, with particle grading designed to balance several practical requirements, including player traction, sliding comfort, surface stability, and drainage performance.
These factors are particularly important during competitive events, where the playing surface must remain consistent throughout repeated training sessions and games.
MEGIAS Clay for Baseball Field Applications
MEGIAS specializes in traditional clay surfacing materials and adapts particle composition according to application requirements and local environmental conditions.
By controlling the proportion of finer and coarser particles, the clay can be configured to support both moisture management and playable surface characteristics.
For baseball applications, this helps create an infield surface that supports running and sliding while also improving water absorption and drainage after rainfall.
The Shanghai West Bund Baseball Park project demonstrates how clay surfacing can be integrated into a professional baseball facility where competition performance, maintenance requirements, and environmental conditions all need to be considered together.
Supporting Competitive Events and Wider Sports Use
The venue is designed not only for professional baseball events but also for broader sports and public activities.
Future uses may include youth baseball training, recreational sports events, community fitness programs, and other cultural or sports activities.
Its location within the West Bund area also allows the baseball park to connect with nearby cultural venues, waterfront public spaces, and recreational destinations, strengthening its role as part of a larger urban sports and lifestyle district.
Project Value
For sports facility developers and baseball field contractors, this project shows the importance of matching infield material selection with actual competition requirements.
Particle grading, drainage behavior, surface friction, sliding performance, and maintenance conditions should all be considered before selecting baseball clay.
Rather than treating clay as a simple surface material, professional baseball field construction requires a system-based approach that considers both player performance and long-term field management.
About MEGIAS
MEGIAS is a clay surface brand under SPORT F. MEGIAS S.L., a company specializing in traditional clay materials.
The brand provides clay products for sports field applications and adjusts material grading according to project conditions and regional climate requirements.
ASHER Sports works with MEGIAS clay products for sports field construction and supports baseball and clay court projects in China.

USAWEGI Showcases Padel Courts and Sports Surfacing Materials at Alibaba.com CoCreate 2026 Los Angeles
2026-09-11
From September 9 to 10, 2026, USAWEGI participated in Alibaba.com CoCreate 2026 in Los Angeles, bringing its sports facility products and project-oriented solutions directly to international buyers. During the event, USAWEGI focused on Padel Court systems and a range of sports surfacing materials, using physical samples, court models, and face-to-face discussions to communicate with visitors from different markets.
Focusing on Padel Court and Sports Facility Project Needs
The Padel Court display was one of the main highlights at the USAWEGI booth. Instead of relying only on product images or brochures, USAWEGI presented a physical Padel Court model that allowed visitors to understand the overall court configuration more clearly.
The model provided a direct visual reference for key elements such as the enclosure, glass panels, playing area, and general court layout. This made it easier for buyers to discuss their project requirements with the USAWEGI team.
For padel club developers, sports facility contractors, distributors, and project buyers, sourcing a Padel Court is usually more than purchasing a single product. Court structure, surfacing materials, site conditions, installation requirements, and project coordination all need to be considered together.
Sports Surfacing Materials on Display
In addition to the Padel Court model, USAWEGI displayed multiple sports turf and sports surfacing material samples at the booth.
The physical samples gave visitors the opportunity to observe different surface appearances, colors, and material options directly. For buyers planning sports facilities, this type of hands-on comparison can make material selection and project discussion more efficient.
Sports surfacing materials are often selected according to the intended application, project environment, construction conditions, and maintenance requirements. By combining samples with in-person communication, USAWEGI was able to discuss different application scenarios with potential buyers in a more practical way.
Face-to-Face Communication With International Buyers
Throughout CoCreate 2026 Los Angeles, international visitors stopped at the USAWEGI booth to discuss Padel Court projects, sports facility materials, and sourcing requirements.
In B2B sports facility projects, buyers often need to clarify more than basic product specifications. Application conditions, customization requirements, surface selection, project planning, and installation considerations may all affect the final solution.
Face-to-face communication at the exhibition therefore provided a useful opportunity for both sides to understand project requirements more clearly before moving into further technical discussions or quotation stages.
From Product Display to Project-Oriented Solutions
At CoCreate 2026, USAWEGI presented its products around the broader concept of Sports Facilities & Surfacing Materials rather than focusing on a single item.
The combination of a Padel Court model, sports turf samples, and surfacing materials reflected the practical sourcing process of many sports facility projects, where buyers often need to evaluate multiple components as part of one complete project.
For customers planning padel clubs, commercial sports venues, or other sports facility developments, the exhibition provided a direct way to explore product options and discuss potential project configurations with the USAWEGI team.
Through its participation in CoCreate 2026 Los Angeles, USAWEGI strengthened direct communication with overseas buyers and continued building connections around Padel Court sourcing and sports facility projects.
USAWEGI will continue to provide clearer product information and project communication support for buyers looking for Padel Courts, artificial turf, sports surfacing materials, and other sports facility products.

"Padel isn't just a game; it's a community builder, and events like this let us connect directly with fans who share that passion."
Throughout the three days, our booth buzzed with conversations about the future of padel in Asia and beyond. We showcased how our courts are engineered for top performance – with features like anti-slip surfaces, LED lighting for night play, and customizable colors to match any venue. Visitors were particularly impressed by the mini court models, complete with tiny nets and balls, which gave a real feel for the setup without needing a full gym. And let's not forget the swag: branded bags, water bottles, and info packets flew off the shelves as people geared up to bring padel home.
This wasn't just about showing off products; it was about sparking interest in a sport that's taking the world by storm. Padel has seen massive growth in the U.S., with courts popping up from Miami to LA, and Enoch Padel is at the forefront, exporting high-quality gear that's built to last. Participating in Project X Market allowed us to tap into the Indonesian market, where padel is gaining traction fast, and build partnerships that could lead to new installations across the region. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees saying they left inspired to start playing or upgrade their setups.

Landscaping Artificial Turf Maintenance Guide
2025-09-19
Landscaping Artificial Turf Maintenance Guide: Keeping Your Lawn Green and Pristine Year-Round
Artificial turf has become a popular choice for modern homes, commercial spaces, and sports fields, thanks to its year-round green appearance, low water consumption, and reduced maintenance needs. However, "low maintenance" does not mean "no maintenance." Proper care will not only extend the life of your artificial lawn but also ensure it always looks and performs its best. This guide provides a comprehensive, easy-to-follow plan to help you effortlessly maintain your turf in perfect condition.
Chapter 1: Routine & Regular Maintenance (The Essentials)
Consistent, basic care is fundamental to preserving the beauty and functionality of your artificial turf. We recommend creating a maintenance schedule based on your lawn's usage frequency and the surrounding environment.
1. Weekly Maintenance:
Debris Removal: Regularly inspect the lawn and clear away leaves, paper, stones, and other debris. For large areas with fallen leaves, a leaf blower is highly effective. For other debris, manual removal or a plastic lawn rake will suffice. Important: Never use a metal rake, as it can damage the turf fibers.
Rinsing Off Dust: During dry seasons, rinse your lawn weekly with a garden hose. This helps wash away dust, pollen, and other airborne pollutants, keeping the blades clean and their color vibrant.
Brushing the Fibers: In high-traffic areas, the turf fibers can become flattened. Use a turf brush or a stiff nylon broom weekly to brush against the grain of the grass. This helps the fibers stand upright, maintaining a natural, fluffy appearance.
2. Monthly Maintenance:
Deeper Cleaning: Perform a more thorough cleaning once a month. Use a mild soap solution or a specialized artificial turf cleaner with a brush to scrub the surface, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. This helps remove grime and bacteria that a simple rinse might miss.
Infill Check: Artificial turf is typically filled with silica sand or rubber granules to provide cushioning, stability, and protect the turf backing. Check the infill levels monthly, especially in high-use areas. If the infill is low or unevenly distributed, add more as needed and use a brush to spread it evenly.
Weed Control: Although artificial turf is excellent at suppressing weeds, a few persistent ones might occasionally sprout along the edges or through drainage holes. Pull them by hand as soon as you spot them to prevent their root systems from becoming established.
Chapter 2: Handling Specific Stains (Problem Solving)
Spills and stains are an inevitable part of life. Prompt and correct treatment is key to keeping your lawn spotless.
Stain Type
Recommended Treatment Method
Important Notes
Food & Drink (e.g., juice, coffee, milk, ice cream)
Immediately blot the liquid with a paper towel or cloth. Clean the area with a mild soap solution, and then rinse thoroughly with water.
Address spills as quickly as possible to prevent them from setting.
Oily Stains (e.g., cooking oil, sunscreen, motor oil, ink)
Dab the stain with a cloth dampened with a small amount of mineral spirits. Afterward, wash with a mild soap and rinse the area completely with water.
Solvents can potentially affect the turf's backing. Use sparingly and avoid letting large amounts seep through.
Chewing Gum or Tar
Use ice or a freeze spray to harden the substance. Once hardened, carefully scrape it off the grass blades with a putty knife or scraper.
Be gentle to avoid cutting or tearing the turf fibers.
Pet Waste
Allow solid waste to dry before removing it. Rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. Then, spray with a dedicated pet odor neutralizer or a diluted white vinegar solution (1:1 water to vinegar ratio) to disinfect and eliminate odors.
Regularly rinse areas frequented by pets to prevent odor buildup.
Mold or Mildew
Spray the affected area with a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution in water. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse the area thoroughly.
Ensure your lawn has proper drainage to prevent the long-term dampness that encourages mold growth.

Chapter 3: Seasonal Care (Adapting to Climate)
Different seasons present unique challenges for artificial turf. Adopting the right maintenance strategies is crucial.
Spring: A Fresh Start
Full Cleaning: After winter, give your lawn a thorough cleaning and brushing to remove accumulated debris and dust.
Inspect & Repair: Carefully check for any open seams, damaged fibers, or uneven infill. Address any issues promptly to prevent them from worsening.
Summer: Beat the Heat
Cool-Down Rinse: The surface of artificial turf can get hot in direct summer sun. Before use, especially before children or pets play on it, a quick spray with a hose can effectively cool the surface down.
Avoid Hot Objects: Never place barbecue grills, hot machinery, or other heat sources directly on the turf, as they can melt the fibers. Be mindful of reflections from windows (known as "solar glint"), as focused sunlight can also cause localized melting.
Autumn: Proactive Prevention
Frequent Leaf Removal: Falling leaves are abundant in autumn, so increase the frequency of your cleanups. A thick layer of damp, decaying leaves can promote the growth of mold and weeds.
Winter: Managing Snow & Ice
Let It Melt: For light snowfall, the best approach is to let it melt naturally and drain away.
Gentle Snow Removal: If heavy snow must be cleared, use a plastic snow shovel or a snow blower. Never use a metal shovel, as it will severely damage the turf. It's best to leave a thin layer of snow at the bottom to avoid scraping the fibers.
Hands-Off Ice Removal: If the turf becomes icy, do not attempt to break the ice with a hard object or use salt/chemical de-icers. Force can break the frozen, brittle fibers, while chemicals can damage the turf's backing and clog the drainage system. The safest method is to let the ice melt on its own.
Chapter 4: Long-Term Care & Common Issues
Fixing Matted Fibers: For areas where fibers have been flattened by heavy objects (like outdoor furniture), remove the object and use a stiff brush to sweep against the grain. On a sunny day, rinsing with warm (not hot) water can also help the fibers return to an upright position.
Professional Servicing: Consider hiring a professional service every 1-2 years for a deep-maintenance session. This can include power brooming to de-compact infill, deep cleaning, and replenishing infill levels to fully restore your lawn's performance and appearance.
By following this comprehensive guide, your artificial lawn will continue to provide a beautiful, clean, safe, and enjoyable green space for many years to come. Remember, a little care goes a long way in preserving its lasting beauty.
