Confirmed from Geller Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Spacious spot featuring baseball diamonds, sand-volleyball courts and playgrounds, plus an open area.
What runners say about Geller Park
“I can always count on Geller to be clean and inviting.”
“Going to the top of the hill is quite scenic as well.”
Geller Park is big and beautiful. I visited the park 5 years ago and the improvements and additions to the park are great. It has shelter houses, paved, gravel, and grass trails that go around the perimeter and also crossing through the park.
I love going to Geller Park no matter the reason. I can always count on Geller to be clean and inviting. It's a safe place to go for a walk or take the younger members of my family. It's a terrific place to spend time.
Stopped in to let our grandson burn off some energy. Very effective for that. Huge green space. 2 playgrounds, walking path and volleyball courts. Can't forget about the ball fields as well.
It is a great place for family fun. Cookouts walking trails baseball field two sanded volleyball courts food court area with roofs for shade n picknick tables. There are several areas with water to drink as well as wash up after you eat or wash the sand off of yourself from volleyball.
