Canton Township officially reopens park splash pad

The Grand Re-Opening of the Heritage Park Splash Playground is
celebrated by  Canton Township Supervisor Anne Marie Graham-Hudak
along with elected officials and project contributors, as well as
Wayne County Commissioner Melissa Daub.
Canton Township has a sure cure for the hottest-ever recorded temperatures.

During a special ribbon-cutting ceremony during the Canton Liberty Fest, township officials celebrated the reopening of the renovated Heritage Park Splash Playground. Renovations to the splash park include improved interactive play zone and the installation of a new concrete picnic pad and the addition of four colorful shade structures that will allow visitors to take a break from the sun or share a picnic in the shade; as well as an accessible seating rock; waste and recycling receptacles; a hydration station, featuring both a drinking fountain and water bottle re-filler and signage acknowledging contributing partners in the renovations. The project was primarily funded through a Wayne County Parks millage.

The splash park is now open from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. daily through Labor Day. There is no admission fee for the park which is located next to the Summit on the Park at 46000 Summit Parkway.

Splash Playground rules include: no running or climbing; no glass, food, or pets; no bikes, skateboards, or rollerblades; and water shoes are recommended. All groups of 12 or more guests must also obtain a permit through the Canton Parks Office prior to their visit by calling (734) 394-5310.   For more information, visit www.cantonfun.org/148.
