Summit on the Park

I love Summit on the Park! It’s a great facility that I come to vote, visit the winter famers markets, home expo and other events. My husband loves using the swimming pool, equipment and indoor track.
The summit also is home to the community television station and senior center. They have several beautiful banquet rooms for weddings and other events.
The facility is very clean and modern. They offer a lot of classes and programs for Canton residents and offer discounts for those who live in the township.
They have a lot of parking and the grounds are gorgeous!

My g/​f and I did the free one week trial but ultimately decided against it. While the price isn’t bad — clocking in at just over $ 5 the competition chains like Planet Fitness etc. What these other places have over the Summit is the way they do membership. The other places (at the time of this writing) offer a deal where one of us can sign up for membership where they can get a second person in for free. Sadly this is not the case at the Summit. This is a big deal for us as there are days where only one of us can make it and it would be nice to be able to bring a friend instead. As it stands now, even though you may have paid for two memberships your friend will have to pay a cost that varies depending on where they live. That the cost for the friend varies depending on where they live makes bringing one needlessly complicated. Otherwise their place is well kept though the exercise-​machine room tends to feel a bit cramped. Staff were also friendly and knowledgeable.

Love this place! It’s clean, not intimidating, and there are so many options for getting a good workout. Also, Super family oriented.

The pool and steam room are my favorite places here. I spend a lot of time here taking aquatic classes. After class I continue to workout in the pool. Some aquatic staff isn’t friendly but Lisa is. She teaches classes as well as being a lifeguard.
Front desk personnel is friendly and very helpful. I’m considering a land class or two. Something for everyone.

I absolutely love this place! From the friendly staff to the numerous leisure activities to choose from, you can’t go wrong here! My daughter is currently in princess camp. It was the cutest week of my life; also my house is covered in glitter ;) The instructors knew my daughter had a nut allergy & i was VERY impressed on how they handled the snacks; they even went above and beyond and called me to confirm the snacks would be ok a day before they were served the snack. The swim classes are worth the money & my daughter loves the water now. The kids pool has a play area, which is an added bonus. Also theres a super fun slide & a lazy pool (for people like me hehe). The gym is pretty awesome &they even have a massive track. They have a great dance program as well, i highly recommend this. They have banquet rooms for parties. I had a wedding reception here. It was such a Great night! Everything went so smoothly thanks to the wonderful staff. If you have a chance, stop in and get the tour & learn about membership options! Totally worth your time!!!

If you want to actually lift, the Summit is not the place for you. Old equipment, trainers that are rude and it gets hot inside the gym area in the summer because of all the windows.

i went to the Summit Aquatic center after not being there for about fifteen years. It seemed to me that the place has not been updated since they opened. I decided to take my one-​year-​old and play in the kid’s area, which was fine but dated. there was a barrier for the bottom of the slide that was a net that was all ripped apart and pieces were floating in the pool. the pool tile’s grout was moldy. The locker rooms were pretty gross. it looked like they never even wiped down the lockers themselves. the carpet looked old and dingy in the hallways, which i guess is ok, but it just kind of added to the grossness of the place. as i was leaving i went to take a shower but did not because the shower are smelled strongly of urine. they have a window looking into the pool area where an old men sit in chairs and watch the swimmers. i felt gross leaving, and i won’t be back.

Summit is a nice — family friendly — place. I certainly feel it is great for the crowd who likes recreation and a workout — but is not trying to compete for the next USA weightlifting title or attempting to use the facility for picking up the opposite sex.
They have a very nice pool area and a lot of activities /​teaching for children.
The exercise areas are moderate size and appropriate. Standard size basketball courts for this type of facility. Only a couple of racquetball courts.
The premise of the facility is certainly family and providing ancillary activities beyond just your bench-​press. If you are looking for a heavy hitting Gym — you should probably head down the road to something more commercial.
I would say the center can be a bit pricy. Especially for non-​residents. Which is a bit of a disappointment. You will most definitely find better overall deals at other community centers in the metro area.
With that said — the facility is very clean, classy. Has a really nice connection with the outside environment with the many glass windows and how the pool butts up to the outside pond.
There is daycare on onsite, a senior center, and (I believe recently) they built a really nice outside activity play area for children too.
Canton has a lot of community events through the year that connect to the facility as well — so overall it blends nicely.

Love love love this facility! It makes me wish I lived in Canton. We currently play on a Rec indoor volleyball league at this facility. Clean, huge, and I think there is a workout equipment, thought I haven’t found it yet.

Great fitness center with reasonable rates.
Well maintained and clean equipment, lots of treadmills and eliptical machines, although there may be a small wait if you come after 5 PM during the work week. The cardio machines are limited to 30 minutes per person. Good selection of ab, leg and arm workout machines as well.
They seem to have a number of aerobics class offerings, but I have yet to participate in one. The pool also looks nice for either swimming laps or bringing your kids to play or take lessons.

Great family facility with an amazing swim program for young and old. There is plenty to do for all ages. Great job Canton!

We used the Summit Banquet Center for our wedding in June 2010 and I would highly recommended it to others for weddings and other catered events. Their pricing is phenomenal, the ballroom is spacious and decorated with bland colors (tan walls with brown banquet chairs) which coordinates with many color schemes. The dance floor was huge and the lobby area was also enormous and well decorated. Bathrooms were clean and conveniently located. The main contact person we worked with was Emily Lee and she was professional, prompt, and organized. She worked out our entire reception schedule in a flash and worked out details for our live band, wedding party entrance, and vendor arrivals without issue. The food selections were standard for wedding menus but they can customize more than other places we looked at. We were originally going to go with a Filet Mignon but the the chicken dishes we tried were so AMAZING and far above the usual quality of banquet hall chicken selections that we went with a chicken selection which saved us tons of $$$. We upgraded the salad and kept the standard bar which was sufficient for our purposes and we had kids meals which our younger guests also enjoyed. The presentation of the food and hors d’oeuvres was also phenomenal. The ballroom has floor to ceiling windows which is great for natural light but terrible if you pay for or bring in specialty lighting. They also kept the lights turned up the entire reception which we were bummed about. The only real negative feedback I have for the venue is that you are not allowed into the ballroom more than a few hours before your ceremony so for us that put a huge stress on the day of the wedding to get things done in time since we DIYed pretty much everything (many other places gave more time and some even allowed access the night before) also, we paid for AV equipment for a slide show and were not told that the set-​up did not work for a Mac computer (I specifically asked what we needed to bring and this was never brought up), so the slideshow we worked so hard on couldnt even be played. All of the staff during the reception were phenomenal and the venue was as elegant, beautiful, and spacious if not more so than many other more expensive hotel banquet halls that we looked at. I would have another event here in a heartbeat!

My home away from home.
It’s clean. It’s very well maintained. I use it strictly for exercise/​fitness purposes. If you have nothing to do during the day, I suggest you look into the matinée membership. For Canton residents it is 92.50 for 6 months as long as you enter before 4p. Unsure about non-​residents.
There are basketball courts, fitness classes, a racquetball court, pool, indoor track. It’s got it all and the price cannot be beat. Sometimes I wish there were a few more non-​treadmill cardio machines, but it is rarely an issue. The weight machines and free weights are serviceable. You probably do not get the variety that you would get at a much higher-​priced gym, but for anyone who is not a professional bodybuilder, this place will be fine for you.

I just held my wedding reception at the Summit on the Park banquet center. I looked all over the metro-​Detroit /​Ann Arbor area for possible reception cites (we visited over 15 different reception locations). The Summit has a gorgeous ballroom with a very high ceiling and an additional grand lobby. The staff are very helpful, and the cost was on the lower end for weddings, so we were able to add hors d’oeuvres and a chocolate fountain without breaking our budget. The outside environment is beautiful. The facility is surrounded by grass and ponds and trees, unlike many of the other locations we looked at.
Our ceremony took place at the Heritage Park Gazebo, which is also owned by Canton City (same as the Summit), so they waived our cost of using the gazebo. The gazebo area is beautiful, surrounded by willow trees next to lovely ponds. It is, however, right across the street from the Canton police department, so there are some random buildings that break the scenery.
I think our choice of holding our wedding at the Summit on the Park couldn’t have been better. Everyone thought the location was great. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that the food was respectable, but nothing to jump up and down about. This may be because we chose the cheapest main entrees, and they do not offer food tasting before the event (the hors d’oeuvres and chocolate fountain were excellent, however). Even so, I would not have chosen a different location. The Summit was overall fantastic.

I’ve loved everything about the Summit so far. I’ve planned a company year-​end party that was held there and attended a wedding reception at the banquet facilities, and now I’m more frequently found on the other half of the building. My daughter and I took a swim class at the pool, an exercise class out on the walking paths, a music class that was in one of the conference rooms, and now we’re in an exercise class that meets in one of the gyms.
In addition to the services I’ve utilized, there’s also a full gym and child care room for members. Although we aren’t Canton residents, our community doesn’t have anything so cool, so we just might have to pay the extra money to be members.
