The Canosia
Township Recreational Area had another
busy year in 2006.
The front baseball field saw regular use from mid
May until the end of July for Little League. It saw
sporadic use after that for make up baseball games.
We had approximately 200 children playing organized
baseball throughout the year.
The back baseball field with its new sod saw a fair
amount of use. It’s one of the only junior size sod
covered infields in the area. The sod took well through
the winter and looked good this spring.
The soccer fields were busy from late May until
September. We also had about 300 children playing
soccer from the age of 4 all the way up to the age of
17.
The soccer fields suffered from the lack of moisture in
the midsummer but seemed to survive the season.
We’ll have to see how they come through the winter.
The tennis courts seemed to be busy throughout the
year. Arrowhead Tennis Courts had lessons there
from early August for six continuous weeks on
Thursdays.
The basketball court seemed to be in use fairly often
for pick up basketball games.
The ice skating rink saw limited use as the weather
didn’t cooperate very well for making good ice.
Hopefully, this will change in 2007.
Various fields were used for organized flag football
and for general pick up games.
We didn’t see any major improvements for the year
but had a few minor ones. We have a new alarm
system in the concession stand. We added some ag-lime to both the back and front baseball fields. We
also had the concession stand running for a good part
of the year and installed fence cap on all the fences.
If anyone has suggestions on improving this area,
please feel free to contact me at 729-7428.
