Canton’s Summit on the Park set for $2.5 million in renovations
The Summit on the Park, Canton’s premier fitness and recreation destination since 1996, will be renovating approximately 10,000-plus square feet of space, utilizing $2.5 million in federal funding.
Phase I of the renovation project includes removing the 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’s carpeting with new multipurpose flooring, and both the PDC and Banquet Center will also be repainted.
Construction was expected to begin this week.
Classes will be relocated
At that time, the entire Banquet Center wing will be closed for approximately four to six weeks. Fitness classes and other programs previously scheduled in the banquet rooms will be relocated during these 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 Representative Ranjeev Puri’s office.”
Phase II projects
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, located at 46000 Summit Parkway, remains a popular destination for Canton residents who utilize its many amenities, including the Aquatic Center, Fitness Center, Gymnasium, Track, and Banquet Center. The Summit currently offers daily, three-month, six-month, and annual memberships.
