We are deeply appreciative of our parks, especially Stadium Park and all of its improvements. We love our new Community Bridge. Through collaboration with the Ironworkers and many other community members, we got a beautiful bridge at a percentage of the cost! We have been here 41 years and love this best bridge yet!

"This ended up being an amazing program!! Leilah LOVED it and learned way more than I expected!! ... can't wait to sign up for the next session. If they were continuous we'd be there! We'll keep coming!"

It’s not a renovation, it’s a renaissance!

Our Canton City Parks are a wonderful asset to our entire community. Children, adults and senior citizens all can benefit from so many beautiful areas.

I look forward to this each year. Thank you park workers for your hard work!
