Recreation Center @ Hillside
700 West Baseline, Northville, MI 48167
Monday through Friday from 8:30am - 4:30pm
The City of Northville, the Charter Township of Northville and the Northville Public Schools have collaborated on a project to expand recreation facilities to the Northville community. In an effort to provide cost-effective, quality indoor recreation facilities, a unique partnership has resulted in the Recreation Center at Hillside.
In 1995, the Northville Board of Education offered 34,000 square feet of the former Northville High School to the community for use as an indoor recreation space. After approval of a 15-year lease agreement, with two 10-year optional extensions, the project became a reality. Residents now have access to two additional gymnasiums, multi-purpose classrooms and fitness rooms. In addition, larger administrative offices for Northville Parks and Recreation were constructed during the renovation in summer 2001.
The Charter Township of Northville and the City of Northville provided a portion of the renovation costs. The remaining portion of the costs were "loaned" to Northville Parks and Recreation and will be repaid during the next 15 years from facility user fees.
