Boling Park Road Gets $214K Resurfacing in Canton GA 2026

Boling Park Road in Canton is getting $214,161 in resurfacing work. Cherokee County and Canton approved the project—here's what drivers need to know.

Boling Park Road Resurfacing Approved for 2026

If you've driven out to Boling Park recently—whether to enjoy the trails along the Etowah River or catch a Canton Explorers' Rodeo—you've likely noticed the access road leading past the City of Canton Water Pollution Control Plant could use some attention. Good news: Boling Park Road is officially lined up for $214,161 in resurfacing work as part of Cherokee County's 2026 Phase One resurfacing project.

Cherokee County has already approved adding the stretch of road through the second wastewater treatment plant entrance to its paving schedule and signed off on the intergovernmental agreement for Canton to reimburse the cost. Canton's City Council took up its side of the agreement on September 3rd, clearing the way for the work to move forward.

What to Expect (and When)

Here's the catch: no start date has been released yet. That means if you're planning your route to Boling Park, Cherokee High School events, or the nearby recreational areas, don't adjust your schedule just yet. The resurfacing is approved and funded, but timing remains to be announced.

This project is part of a much larger effort. Cherokee County approved multiple phases of resurfacing in 2026, tackling dozens of miles of roads across the county and in partnership with Canton and Woodstock. Phase One alone includes roads in subdivisions and key connector streets throughout unincorporated Cherokee County, making this one of the busiest paving seasons in recent memory.

Why Boling Park Road Matters

Boling Park Road may not carry the traffic volume of Highway 20 or Sixes Road, but it serves an important local role. The road provides the only vehicle access to Boling Park—a 20-acre gem leased by the City of Canton from the Army Corps of Engineers—which sits tucked along the river at 1200 Marietta Highway. Runners, walkers, and cross-country athletes from Cherokee High School use the park's gravel trails and fields regularly.

The road also leads directly past the City of Canton's Water Pollution Control Plant, a critical piece of infrastructure that underwent a major expansion in recent years to meet the demands of Canton's residential and commercial growth. Keeping the access road in good condition supports both public recreation and essential city services.
