West Michigan Whitecaps buy adjacent fun center, plan major changes

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- The West Michigan Whitecaps are planning to upgrade AJ's Family Fun Center, now that they've purchased the entertainment center adjacent to LMCU Ballpark.

The Whitecaps are promising major changes will be made by next spring to coincide with the opening day of the baseball season on April 4th. The center is being renamed the "Game Time Fun Park."

The park at 4400 Ballpark Dr., off West River Drive, is known for its Go Karts, an 18-hole mini golf course and outdoor batting cages.

Here is more information from a Whitecaps' news release:

This new chapter will allow the Whitecaps organization to offer an enhanced fan experience by integrating Game Time Fun Park activities into Whitecaps baseball game days, providing a unique add-on for groups, families, and fans. It’s an exciting opportunity to combine the thrill of Whitecaps baseball with fun and engaging attractions before and after games as well as non-game days throughout the summer. 

“We couldn’t be more excited about adding Game Time Fun Park to the Whitecaps family,” said Joe Chamberlin, CEO of the West Michigan Whitecaps. “This acquisition allows us to bring our brand of fun to a new audience while at the same time giving us another tool to elevate the gameday fan experience by offering something truly special for fans and groups attending Whitecaps games as well as non-game days. We have big plans in store for next season, and we can’t wait to share them with the community.”

The Whitecaps are planning several updates and improvements to the facility and its attractions, ensuring that Game Time Fun Park will be the go-to destination for family fun, both on game days and beyond. More details about these updates will be announced in the coming months, with major changes expected to be completed by Spring 2025 to coincide with the Whitecaps opening day on April 4.

West Michigan Whitecaps: The Whitecaps Minor League Baseball team was established in 1994. The Whitecaps are the High-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers and play in the Midwest League. The team’s home games are played in West Michigan’s favorite, and largest outdoor multi-purpose venue, LMCU Ballpark.
