The Athletic Field became part of the Geneseo Park District on June 1, 2000. For many, the old athletic field was a quick jog down from the junior high under the direction of Elmer Reedy and/or JoAnne Gernant during P.E. class. Many Geneseo football alumni vividly remember moments from their legendary youth football days on the athletic field gridiron
The athletic field is located on East North Street (1 block west of Community Center). The Geneseo Park District runs youth sports programs such as flag football, tennis, and golf at the athletic field. The athletic field currently serves as the host to Geneseo Youth Football, Geneseo Middle School (GMS) 8th-grade football, and Geneseo High School (GHS) Freshman-Sophomore tennis.
The Athletic Field is open to all residents for a variety of uses such as; basketball, tennis, pickleball, running/walking on the newly resurfaced track or just lounging on the grass
