Did You Know?
Many programs offered at Batavia Park District have sessions for different ages. Explore all of the different activities and see if they are perfect for your entire family.
As summer comes to an end, we’re taking a moment to celebrate and thank our fabulous interns for an incredible summer of learning, growing and making a difference at the Batavia Park District!
Our Recreation Interns, Olivia and Cam, dove into programs, special events, risk management and so much more. Our Athletics Intern, Anna, learned the ins and outs of our athletics programs, recreation programs, and field maintenance. Riley, our Marketing Intern, helped bring our summer and fall events to life by designing graphics and getting a behind-the-scenes look at the world of park district marketing. Anna, Olivia, Cam and Riley planned our annual Popsicles in the Park event! And our Batavia Depot Museum Interns, Adam, Ethan and Hope, gained hands-on experience with collections, preservation and archiving.
One thing we’re especially proud of is our immersive internship experience. Our interns don’t just learn about their individual departments—they get the opportunity to explore other areas of the District, meet staff from across the organization and see how all the moving pieces come together. Because at the Batavia Park District, we’re one District, and it takes all of us to make it happen!
We’re so grateful Olivia, Cam, Anna, Riley, Adam, Ethan and Hope spent their summer with us. Thank you for bringing your ideas, energy and enthusiasm to the District!
The future is bright! ✨

This trip is almost sold out! Snag your seat for a fun day at the fair!
Since the first fair held here in 1888, the fairgrounds has provided the perfect showplace for agricultural exhibits and commercial venues. The 185 acres of well-manicured park-like settings, the charming buildings, and the friendly atmosphere improve with age.
Every year in September, starting on the Wednesday after Labor Day, the fairgrounds come alive for five days, with carnival rides, mouth-watering fair foods, and vendors from all over the Midwest. Exhibitors from near and far show the fruits of their labor. Free entertainment and attractions—along with nationally acclaimed acts—prove to be thrilling for all ages.
Trip includes admission to fair and transportation. Space is limited: bataviaparks.info/sandwichfair
