The Batavia Park District comes under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for State and Local Governments. The Batavia Park District has the responsibility to provide equal and integrated access to its services, facilities, programs and activities for its residents and visitors with disabilities. To provide access, the Batavia Park District must make reasonable modifications to policies and procedures as well as physical changes to the built environment.

Under Title II of the ADA, the regulations prohibit public entities such as the Batavia Park District from discriminating against or excluding a person from programs, services or activities on the basis of disability. Batavia Park District is responsible to meet the obligations of Title II of the ADA and assign a person as the ADA Coordinator. The ADA Coordinator is responsible to receive, review, and respond to questions and concerns expressed by a person with a disability related to access of the parks and programs. In addition, this person would be responsible to implement removal of access barriers recognized in the Transition Plan.

An annual report for a park district is a way to share the story of the past year with the community. It highlights the district’s programs, events, and accomplishments, while also showing how tax dollars and resources were used to care for parks, facilities, and recreation programs. Inside, you’ll find the district’s mission and values, a look back at memorable moments and improvements, updates on new parks and facility upgrades, recognition of volunteers and community partners, a summary of finances, and a preview of future projects and goals.

In 2020, the Batavia Park District and the City of Batavia entered into an inter-governmental agreement to prepare a master plan for the Fox River Corridor. Hitchcock Design Group was engaged to prepare the plan for the purpose of evaluating options for removal of the Batavia Dam, recreational improvements, and connectivity and access along the river.

Throughout the planning process, the Planning Team facilitated community engagement meetings and surveys, conducted review meetings with Park District and City staff, and directed joint meetings with the Park Board and City Council. The preliminary design process focused on the dam and Depot Pond area. The Batavia Park District and City of Batavia worked to form a design identity for this area before proceeding with planning the remainder of the river corridor limits. The Batavia Fox River Corridor Master Plan summarizes the team’s findings and recommendations.
