Director's Message

At the Batavia Park District, we are dedicated to being your lifelong partner. For 56 years we have been offering a welcoming space for growth, connection and recreation for our residents at every stage of life. Whether you're exploring nature as a child, staying active as an adult, or soaking up quality time with family, we're here to support your journey. Our parks and programs are designed to enrich your life, foster community, and create lasting memories, ensuring that no matter where you are in life, you always have a place to belong.

You are invited to help us shape the future of Batavia. I am thrilled to announce that we are embarking on a Strategic Master Plan to guide us in enhancing parks, programs and spaces to serve you and future generations. The planning process will actively involve the community, gathering feedback through surveys, public forums, and stakeholder meetings to ensure that the priorities and concerns of our residents are reflected. As our community continues to evolve, we remain committed to adapting our offerings to meet the changing needs of our residents. Your voice is more important than ever as we plan a roadmap for the next five years. Your voice matters and this is the perfect time to express your recreational needs and desires. Together, we will Engage, Inspire and Elevate Batavia.
