Canton Sports Center Set To Reopen After $1.2M In Renovations

CANTON TOWNSHIP, MI — A popular Canton sports facility known for hosting local softball/baseball leagues and national tournaments is set to reopen for its 2024 spring season after undergoing $1.2 million in renovations.

The Canton Sports Center, located in Canton’s Victory Park, is scheduled to reopen on Wednesday, April 17 with a special "Light Up the Park" ceremony to celebrate its grand reopening.

The ceremony, featuring Canton Supervisor Anne Marie Graham-Hudak and the elected officials of the Canton Board of Trustees, is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. with public festivities, including: softball and baseball games, kicker’s pizza party, glow party contests and DJ Royce planned for 7:30 – 8:30 p.m.

The sports facility was recently upgraded with a new state-of-the-art LED lighting system that will improve on-field lighting and visibility in its 12 softball fields. In addition, crews replaced all concrete sidewalks surrounding the facility, with several new sidewalks leading to the 12 softball fields.

The remainder of these new sidewalks are scheduled to be replaced this October.

"The Canton Sports Center is an incredible asset to our community, as well as a high-demand sports destination," Canton Leisure Services Director Greg Hohenberger. "All of these renovations show that Canton Township is committed to recreation and to providing opportunities for all ages to participate in baseball, softball, cricket, lacrosse, flag football, and more."
