The Batavia Park District
Has been providing memorable experiences in parks and recreation for the community since its inception in 1969. Nestled in the scenic Fox River Valley and just 45 miles west of Chicago, Batavia serves a thriving, growing community. Batavia boasts a windmill heritage, rich in history and steeped in traditional family values. Batavia became a popular place to settle because of its close proximity to the river, trails, thoroughfares, and direct access to Chicago. Founded in 1833, it is the oldest city in Kane County.
