Confirmed from Canton Township Community Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Clean outdoor haven featuring baseball and softball fields, a playground and basketball hoops.
What runners say about Canton Township Community Park
“Well maintained, baseball fields, full basketball court, childrens playground, pavilion.”
“Beautiful park with a great play place for the little ones, full basketball court and soccer field as well as a pavilion that can be rented for parties.”
“Not much here anymore unless you are attending a baseball game except for peace and quiet.”
Nice little park that used to be a go too before Walker Elementary School was torn down. Not much here anymore unless you are attending a baseball game except for peace and quiet. I need that from time to time so I still drive by and park for a half hour or so and just gather what's left of my thoughts for the day.
Cool little playground with space to run around and things for kids to climb on.
Great park next to walker elementary school. Has tons of stuff to play on for the 5-12 year olds and stuff to play on for the 2-5 years too. Overall, a good experience in a quiet area.
Nice baseball fields, a basketball court, playground, and a 0.6Mi walking path. Several porta-johns which are reasonable well-kept.
