<P> Inside the ballpark, in the "batter's eye" area just beyond the center - field wall features three evergreen trees . The area also includes boulders and a waterfall / water feature . The green giant arborvitae is a large, vigorous, fast - growing evergreen--shooting up by as much as 3' per year until maturity . The Braves took inspiration from a similar setup in the same area of the Colorado Rockies' Coors Field . A fountain shoots streams of water 50 feet into the air, toward the main video board, from the upper pond . The feature figures to have a game - presentation role in celebrating home runs and wins . </P> <P> The ballpark features an expanded protection from foul balls . The protective netting extends from behind home plate to the far end of both dugouts at SunTrust Park . Although longer, SunTrust Park's protective netting isn't quite as high as Turner Field's . The screen is 31 1⁄2 feet high, compared to 35 feet high at the former stadium . Derek Schiller attributed that difference to the geometry of SunTrust Park and where the cables that hold up the screen are secured to stadium structures . From directly behind home plate, the screen extends 145 feet down the third - base line and 149 feet down the first - base line, according to Braves field director Ed Mangan . Schiller said innovations have made protective screens "thinner but in fact stronger," meaning "we're getting the ability to cover the most number of seats with the least view issues as possible ." </P> <P> The Braves selected a type of grass called "Seashore Paspalum, Platinum TE" for the stadium . The Braves replaced Turner Field's Tifway 419 hybrid Bermuda grass in the infield in 2012 in hopes the softer, thicker paspalum would slow down the playing surface a bit for the benefit of their infielders . The Bermuda remained in Turner Field's outfield, while the grassed areas of foul territory also were switched to paspalum . At SunTrust Park, the entire field is paspalum . It is a popular choice for beach golf courses . It also is used at Minute Maid Park and Marlins Park . </P> <P> Unlike Turner Field, SunTrust Park doesn't have a stand - alone Braves museum . But a well - appointed space in the main concourse behind home plate, Monument Garden, will display many highlights of franchise history . The Monument Garden features audio, light and water elements . The Braves partnered with Atlanta - based A-R-T & Associates to create a visual experience for Braves fans . The baseball - centric artwork highlights nostalgic moments throughout Braves franchise history . The 300 - piece installation consists largely of original artwork ranging from portraits to action scenes, and complemented by macro photography, oversized vintage baseball cards and a LEGO brick mosaic . The Braves took memorabilia from the Ivan Allen Jr . Braves Museum & Hall of Fame at Turner Field and incorporated it throughout the ballpark . </P>
