Grab your friends and family and participate in some free, fun activities all month long! Celebrate National Parks & Recreation Month by completing a scavenger hunt, heading out to the parks, going to Windmill City Fest, and more!
Starting June 28th, follow the clues left in six of Batavia's parks to find Bruce and spell out his favorite word!
The first two clues will be posted at the Civic Center, Eastside Community Center, and on social media on June 28th.
Two clues will be posted each week and if both clues are solved and both letters are found from each week, stop by the Civic Center and Eastside Community Center to claim a special sticker. Different stickers will be available each week, so be sure to collect them all!
Come see Bruce on Tuesday, July 9th from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. at Engstrom Park!
Bruce will be handing out free popsicles and stickers and posing for pictures. Fun yard games will also be available to play.
Unplug Illinois is a campaign created by the Illinois Park and Recreation Association that encourages people to unplug from their electronic devices and plug into play, creativity, friendship, adventure and family.
This year, Unplug Illinois Day is Saturday, July 13th. We're encouraging all of Batavia to step away from their screens, and get outside! We'll be highlighting our favorite parks to go to and we hope to see you at Windmill City Fest!
To further the awareness of Unplug Illinois Day, use the hashtag #bataviaunplugged and post a picture of you, your family, or friends doing a favorite outdoor activity around Batavia. Post a picture with the hashtag by noon on Thursday, July 18th for a chance to be entered into a drawing to win an amazing prize!
