Putting enough tall grass in a park to keep geese away would also have the consequence of making it keep humans away. Some untouched areas are fine, but if geese are avoiding it because they sense danger, humans will do the same. It comes with the reality of snakes, and worse, ticks.
Nobody will let their kids play there and no adults will run or relax there. It’d be closed off and paved over if it’s meant as an urban park.

Another comment suggested introducing a pair of swans, though that also has potential downsides (swans can be aggressive toward humans).
