On Tuesday, Sept. 10 we welcomed members of the Troy City Council, county and state dignitaries and area Cricket leaders and enthusiasts to break ground on what will become a state-of-the-art Cricket Field right here in Troy! The new Cricket Field coming to Boulan Park has been 20 years in the making, and thanks to community support and a $900,000 allocation from the State of Michigan (thank you Rep. Sharon MacDonnell!) it is now becoming a reality. This will be a regulation size field with a scoreboard, dugouts and a screen wall. It will also hybrid pitch surface; the first of its kind in Michigan. This field will also be eligible to be certified by the Michigan International Cricket Association.

We expect it to be a playable field in spring of 2025.

City Council is tonight at 7:30 pm. We hope you can join us in person, via your local cable station or by watching on the City's YouTube page.

The surveys completed through the 2020–2024 Parks and Recreation plan indicated a strong community desire for a full-size Cricket field. The field is funded in part thanks to $900,000 from the State of Michigan's 2024 budget.

The new cricket field will include a scoreboard, dugouts, bleachers, a screen wall, a hybrid pitch, an irrigated infield, and an asphalt pathway around the field. This will be the Detroit Metro Region’s first real game field.

Construction will begin Fall 2024 and anticipated completion of late Spring 2025.
