In celebration of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Swimming presented by Lilly being held in Indianapolis for the first time since 2000, SYNLawn Indiana worked with Indiana Sports Corp and its Local Organizing Committee to create a swim-themed mural using SYNLawn artificial turf. The mural is located at the intersection of Georgia Street and Capitol Avenue. The design and construction of the 66-foot replica of the Eiffel Tower were led by F.A. Wilhelm Construction and the Latinas Welding Guild in preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris. Additionally, SYNLawn Indiana also provided artificial grass to enhance the event tent space.
“The Indy Experience Division of the Local Organizing Committee was charged with creating unique, welcoming and inspiring events and activations for visiting athletes, families, spectators, and our local residents during the Olympic Swim Team Trials,” said Jenny Cash, co-chair of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials: Indy Experience Division. “SYNLawn Indiana stepped up to assist with this challenge by dreaming up a unique concept to use artificial turf to imitate water for our swim up bar, a beautiful turf lawn for the replica Eiffel Tower and a one-of-kind turf mural that exceeded our expectations.”
Indianapolis has achieved another historic milestone with the inaugural staging of the Olympic Team Trials in a transformed football stadium turned aquatic center. Over 1,000 hopeful athletes will convene at Lucas Oil Stadium from June 15 to June 23, vying for a spot on Team USA.
“We were thrilled to be part of this historic celebration for the city of Indianapolis by creating an awe-inspiring mural that celebrates athletic swimmers and the 2024 Paris Olympics,” said Anastasia Phillips, owner of SYNLawn Indiana. “We take great pride in the landscaping installations we’ve designed and built over the years for residents and visitors of Indianapolis. We love this city and are thrilled to debut our latest artificial turf creation at the Starting Block Party.”
SYNLawn Indiana has worked on some incredible installations and landscaping projects. Some notable projects include the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, SPARK on the Circle (a green pop-up park for kids located at Monument Circle), and the Bicentennial Unity Plaza at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
