Renovations now under way at Canton Summit on the Park facility
Visitors to the Summit on the Park in Canton Township will soon see what $2.5 million in government funding can do.
During the first phase of renovation at the recreation facility more approximately 10,000 square feet of space at the building will be renovated and remodeled. Plans include the removal of inclined theater seating in the Professional Development Center (PDC) to create level flooring and provide a new multi-use space. Additional enhancements will include replacing the Banquet Center carpeting with new multipurpose flooring and both sections of the building will be repainted.
Construction was scheduled to begin last week at the facility, first opened in 1996. During the four-to-six-week renovations, the entire Banquet Center wing will be closed. Fitness classes and other programs previously scheduled in the banquet rooms will be relocated during the renovations.
"This short-term inconvenience will definitely bring long-term gains for individuals in the area who utilize our facility," said Summit Facility Manager Jason Lombardo. "All of these renovations that will expand and modernize our facility are made possible by funding that was secured by State Rep. Ranjeev Puri’s office."
The proposed Phase II improvements include creating a new main entrance, expanding the fitness center by approximately 3,000 square feet, and increasing parking to provide improved access to the building for Club 55+ participants.
The Summit on the Park is located at 46000 Summit Parkway and offers an Aquatic Center, Fitness Center, Gymnasium, Track, and Banquet Center. The Summit currently offers daily, 3-month, 6-month and annual memberships.
