Canton Unveils Heritage Park North Pavilion Playground Amenities

Come and celebrate the grand re-opening of Heritage Park’s North Pavilion Playscape on Tuesday, August 11, 2020, at 4:30 p.m., weather permitting. Join Canton Supervisor Pat Williams and members of Canton's Board of Trustees for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the recently remodeled North Pavilion Playground in Heritage Park, which is located adjacent to the Canton Administrative Building at 1150 S. Canton Center Road in Canton, MI 48188.

Recent playground upgrades include the installation of a “We-Go-Round,” which is a wheelchair-accessible merry-go-round where children of all abilities can spin together. This exhilarating amenity can be spun from the inside or outside, allowing everyone to participate in the fun. Funding for this project was made possible by a federal Community Development Block Grant.

"We are pleased to bring another accessible playground feature to Heritage Park that will be fun for all children, regardless of their abilities," said Brad Sharp, Canton Facilities Services Manager. “By installing these types of accessible playground features, we continue to address the diverse development and recreational needs of children in our community.”

In addition, the entire area surrounding the playground equipment has been replaced with colorful soft fall surfacing, which is a rubber material that provides safer playing conditions underneath all of the slides and climbing amenities. These new features have been installed next to the existing accessible musical playground to create a modernized and inclusive playground area in Heritage Park for all ages to enjoy.

Those present at the outdoor ceremony are encouraged to wear face masks and must allow for social distancing at the site, which is located off of Heritage Park Drive at the first drive past Veterans Way.
