CANTON ATHLETIC FIELD USAGE UPDATE
Area residents are reminded that Canton's open athletic fields that have not been previously reserved are available for use on a first come, first served basis for drop-in play for small groups. However, if fields have been prepped, a game has been scheduled on that field and drop-in play is not allowed.
If you have dropped into a field and another team shows up with a reservation confirmation, all drop-in players must leave the field. Larger groups wishing to utilize Canton's athletic fields must have a permit in order to play or practice on a field. If you would like to have your team's practice space guaranteed, fields can be reserved by contacting the Canton Sports Center at 734/483-5600. For additional field use information, please visit Canton Sports Center.
Resident drop in use is free when available as open time. Many leagues, practices and programs are reserved and prepped daily during the season. Please use the Field request form to reserve space on a specific day/time. Some fees may apply for reservations.
