Confirmed from Genoa Township 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.
Park featuring a basketball court, a soccer field, play areas and sledding hill.
What runners say about Genoa Township Park
“Sled hill (or bike hill 😎), updated play structures, structures for all ages, and trails to walk or ride.”
Awesome playground for kids and a few ice paved walkway around the whole park.
Literally the most perfect park I've ever had available. Sled hill (or bike hill 😎), updated play structures, structures for all ages, and trails to walk or ride. The landscaping is awesome and whoever maintains the grass does a crazy good job.
My kids and I experienced going to Genoa park for the first time together and we loved it! Lot of space to run around and play! Kids really enjoyed themselves.
Sledding here is always great and the lighting at the top of the hill ensures you aren't out in the cold and the dark!
