Westchester County has no countywide artificial-turf regulation. County Parks installed turf fields at several locations. Some municipalities (Larchmont, Mamaroneck) have moratoriums due to PFAS concerns.
Westchester County does not regulate artificial turf on private residential property. Several municipalities have acted: the Village of Larchmont and Town of Mamaroneck imposed moratoriums on new artificial-turf athletic fields pending PFAS and microplastics review. Westchester County Parks operates artificial-turf fields at Sprain Ridge and Saxon Woods under county-level environmental review. Residential HOAs may restrict. NYS DEC is studying regulatory guidance on crumb rubber infill.
