Geer Park Skate Park

Geer Park Skatepark Nearing Completion
Construction of the Geer Park Skatepark is rapidly approaching completion. We are currently finalizing a few remaining operational details before the facility can officially open to the public.
We are excited to announce that the skatepark is anticipated to open for use by the end of November.
Please note that while the park will be accessible this fall, the official grand opening ceremony and celebration will be held next spring. We look forward to this new amenity providing a safe and challenging environment for skateboarders and BMX freestylers and we will share more details about the spring event on this page as the date approaches.
Soccer and Baseball Fields
Major field reconstruction is continuing at Geer Park. These upgrades are designed to enhance playing conditions, improve field reliability, and allow for a longer playing season.
Baseball Fields: The installation of artificial turf on the infields is complete. The outfields have been reseeded with new natural grass. The fields also received a new irrigation and drainage system.
Soccer Fields: The soccer fields have been completely reconstructed, including regrading the playing surface and installing a new irrigation and drainage system. These fields have also been reseeded.
Dog Park
Geer Park Dog Park Construction Continues
Construction is currently underway on the Geer Park Dog Park, a new recreational space designed to enhance community life and provide a safe, enjoyable environment for dogs and their owners.
The finished park will feature distinct fenced areas for energetic and quieter dogs, two small shelters with benches and accessible paved entryways.
Prioritizing accessibility and hygiene, the park will also include accessible pathways and strategically placed waste disposal stations. The City is committed to regular maintenance to ensure a clean and welcoming environment.
The dog park is not expected to open until mid-spring 2026 to allow time for the newly planted grass to become fully established. We look forward to opening this new amenity to the community next year.
Opening Timeline:
To ensure the newly planted grass on both the soccer fields and baseball outfields has sufficient time to become fully established, the fields will remain closed for the winter season. The baseball fields, soccer fields and the new dog park are all expected to officially open around mid-spring 2026. We appreciate the community’s patience as we work to deliver these high-quality, long-lasting recreational spaces for all.
