Get an up-close look at the vehicles and equipment of Geauga Park District in honor of America 250‘s Ohio MOVES: Transportation Month!

Many of the tractors, trucks and construction equipment that we use to keep your parks in tip-top shape will be parked onsite for hands-and-feet-on discovery by kids of all ages. Check back soon for a list of which vehicles will be on hand and touchable as it becomes available.

When onsite parking fills, fast and free school-bus-style shuttles will run from our overflow parking site at ASM International, 0.6 mile east of The West Woods on Route 87. Consider it another vehicle to touch on your trip!

Our popular Nights Out series returns this summer with more live music and movies under the stars — no registration required!

Bring your own blankets, lawn chairs and refreshments to the park to enjoy all these events to the max. Everything movies indoors in the case of inclement weather.

All 2026 Nights Out are also themed to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, featuring movies with Ohio connections and all-American music. Click here to view an official “sizzle” video courtesy of Ohio Goes to the Movies.

Hit the water for Paddle Fest and put your paddling skills to the test! Activities will challenge your endurance, navigation and maneuverability. Bring your own canoe or kayak or reserve one of our kayaks.

This event is not for beginners, so this should not be your first time paddling. The fee to participate is $10 for Geauga residents or $15 for out-of-county residents. Fest-goers must check in 15 minutes before their time slot, then can spend up to two hours on the water, returning to shore no more than a half hour after their time slot. Ages 12+ may paddle with just one adult in the canoe. And sorry, no pets are allowed in boats; thanks for understanding!
