Canton Township Officials Celebrate $1.2 Million Renovations at the Canton Sports Center

Canton Township Supervisor Anne Marie Graham-Hudak, along with the Canton Township Board of Trustees and other dignitaries, celebrated the Grand Reopening of the Canton Sports Center on May 1, 2024, to mark the completion of a $1.2 million renovation project at this dynamic sports complex, located at 46555 W. Michigan Avenue in Canton, MI.

Upgrades made to the sports center include the installation of a new state-of-the-art MUSCO sports LED lighting system that will improve on-field lighting and visibility in all 12 softball fields, reduce energy consumption, and enhance the overall experience for players and spectators.

Additional improvements include the replacement of much of the concrete sidewalks surrounding the facility, as well as the replacement and expansion of asphalt paths leading up to the 12 softball fields. These renovations follow the improvements made to the inside of the Canton Sports Center facility, that include a dining area makeover to Kicker's Bar & Grill, a full-service restaurant located inside the building. These improvements include an updated look with a new paint color scheme, booth cushion replacements, and the installation of all new windows.

"One of the many goals of this project was to deliver superior upgrades to this premier sports complex that will provide an improved experience for everyone who visits," stated Greg Hohenberger, Director of Canton Leisure Services. "In addition, it's important to increase energy efficiency, as well as minimize the amount of light cast and reduce night sky pollution, which this new sports LED lighting system should accomplish."

The Canton Sports Center, located at 46555 W. Michigan Avenue in Canton, MI, features a twelve-diamond lighted softball/baseball operation with state-of-the-art facilities, as well as Kicker's Bar & Grill. This sports complex annually plays host to several national tournaments that produce a significant economic impact to the area; at times generating over $1 million in revenue for area businesses.
