genshaft memorial park
Take me out to the ballgame! One of the area's top softball facilities, Genshaft Ball Park has seen thousands of softball players gather seven days a week each spring, summer and fall. With four fields playing more than a thousand games per season - Genshaft fields are reserved for local organized Parks & Recreation adult softball leagues. These fields can also be rented for tournaments. A concession stand and pavilion with tables are also a part of the amenities.
multipurpose trails & walking paths
Nature lovers and hikers are alive and well, enjoying the great outdoors on our walking, hiking and biking trails. The Sippo Valley Trail beginning at the Bottoms Park is an 8-mile stretch of the former Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad bed. The trail offers a prime hiking and biking route, with portions yielding as an equestrian trail, reaching to the Wayne County line. The Campbell Walking Path at Reservoir Park provides 1.27 miles of rubberized path for walking and jogging and continues into nearby South Sippo Park. The up-and-coming Ohio & Erie Canalway Towpath Trail is a 110-mile trail currently under development, stretching from Lake Erie in Cleveland and ending in New Philadelphia. Massillon's 6-mile section runs adjacent to the Tuscarawas River. Click here for Park Directions.
Wampler Park has the area's first, one-of-a-kind outdoor in-line hockey rink. The playing surface features a custom designed acrylic-on-asphalt surface which resembles the color of ice. Surrounded by a wall of durable fiberglass, the rink is open for use during park hours and offers free in-line skating.
This great facility features an 8- lane track as well as all the field amenities needed for successful meets including a soccer/football field and a softball field. This state-of-the-art facility hosts many recreation programs and special events throughout the year. It also serves the school district's need for additional athletic facilities for their team sports.
Attention dog owners! Take advantage of our off-leash facility designed for use by man's best friend. Located in Furnas Park, this addition to our park system features separate fenced areas for dogs both large and small. Check out our Dog Park Brochure here.
Play this fun, exciting and challenging Disc Golf course located in Lincoln Park. Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however, players use a flying disc, or FrisbeeŽ. The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Disc golf shares the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether it's sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway. There are a few differences, though. Disc golf rarely requires a greens fee, you probably won't need to rent a cart, and you never get stuck with a bad "tee time." It is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages, male and female, regardless of economic status. And, of course, there's the sheer fun of the game - no matter what your age or skill level! Play Disc Golf - The Sport of the FUTURE!
