Confirmed from Peck Farm 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.
Expansive park with biking trails, picnic areas, a nature center, sports fields & an amphitheater.
What runners say about Peck Farm Park
“Great summer kids camps, lots of restrooms, trails are well kept, and butterfly house is enchanting.”
“The Butterfly house is a highlight for all ages, with hundreds of beautiful butterflies fluttering around.”
Cute smaller places, but we had a great time anyway. Loved the butterfly house which is BTW free they just take donations. They have a playground for the kiddos, walking trails to see the water, and I think I read a place to get ice cream and drinks possibly.
Amazing local park. Doesn’t get much better than this in the town of Geneva in terms of parks. Great summer kids camps, lots of restrooms, trails are well kept, and butterfly house is enchanting.
Peck farm is a great place to spend quality time with your family! The park district has redeveloped this old farm into a great area for fun and activities! There is a huge paved walking path, along with plenty of structures to explore.
I love coming here with my family to see the butterflies, and they have a really cool "natural" playground made of wood and stone with a water section to play in, a tall indoor overlook tower, a small museum, and a pretty prairie preserve walk around a medium large pond.
