On a quiet day at Rabbit Hill Park in Dacula, the nearly 10 acres of soccer fields lord over the landscape.
Gwinnett Soccer Academy Executive Director Drew Prentice understands the problem all too well.
“We went through a series last summer where their mowers went down, and the new mowers they brought in weren’t specific for sports fields,” Prentice explained. “So, they weren’t cutting properly.”
Prentice and Gwinnett County recently teamed up to hire a very specialized employee.
“So, we’ve named it Travis,” Prentice said.
Travis is a Husqvarna Ceora automatic mower, the first of his kind in the Southeast, and a far cry from the mowers previous generations pushed around as kids.
Joshua Harris remembers that time. He manages the groundskeeping for the county’s 50+ parks.
