This park is jointly owned by the Batavia and Geneva Park Districts and is a great open space area. Primarily designed as a detention basin, the site is heavily drained so water moves off very quickly following heavy rains. It is a perfect site for open play by neighbors as well as a practice spot for area soccer and baseball teams.
This park has been developed with a play area, basketball and tennis courts. The sensory garden includes plantings, textured walks and music panels. Residents interested in reserving the shelter should contact the Batavia Park District office at 630-879-5235. The iconic red barn makes for a scenic backdrop to your park experience at this site.

Shanahan Grove is truly one of our most passive naturalized park areas. Its only development is a foot path connecting Stewart Ct. on the north with Cleveland Ave. on the south. Otherwise it is home to a lovely stand of hardwood trees and a stretch of Mahoney Creek. Since the park also serves a storm water detention function, the majority of the site will always remain undeveloped. It will remain as an open green space in the midst of its neighborhood.
This unique site connects three different neighborhoods together. The park features two playground areas.

The park also contains a mini-shelter and an asphalt walking path. As with all of our newer parks in the system, Saratoga was designed with the cooperation of a neighborhood focus group.
