Genoa Charter Township Fields and Walking Trail
Genoa Charter Township
Soccer Fields
In 2007, Genoa Charter Township began construction on two regulation-sized soccer fields for the use of our residents.
Construction has been completed and the soccer fields are now ready for use.
The soccer fields will be leased to local sports organizations. For more information on use of the soccer fields for organized sports, please contact Chris Galatis at 517 546 0693 extension 7705 at Howell Area Parks and Recreation.
Genoa Charter Township Walking Path
In 2006, Genoa Charter Township began construction on a .66 mile walking path.
The walking path circles the Genoa Charter Township Hall and flanks the soccer fields. The walking path also extends to the north towards the Dorr Road Fire Station.
The walking path is open to all to enjoy. Residents have reported seeing varied wildlife along the path including hawks, sandhill cranes, herons and deer.
Those walking dogs on the path are asked to keep pets on a leash and we encourage the use of the dog waste baggies and receptacles located on the path near the Hall. Motorized vehicles are prohibited on the path.
Genoa Township Sledding Hill
The Township opened the sledding hill in Winter 2010-11 for use. The sled hill has a vertical drop of approximately 40-feet and a run length of over 200 feet and is fun for all ages. In 2011 heated bathrooms and a warming area were added as well as a light pole to allow night time sledding until 10pm.
All are welcome to enjoy the winter fun for free at the Township sledding hill.
Genoa Township Playgrounds
In July 2011, Genoa Charter Township finished construction on two playgrounds. The playgrounds have been placed at the Township pavilion which has picnic tables and restroom facilities. One playground is designed for ages two through five. The other playground is for the bigger children ages five through twelve. The playgrounds are open for all to use so please enjoy them responsibly.
