Discover the Batavia Riverwalk; a jewel of the Batavia Park District. This Riverwalk is home to the Peg Bond Center and beloved Depot pond.  Many popular events like, Windmill City Festival, Celebration or Lights and summer concert series, River Rhapsody. The Riverwalk has many amenities including; kayak & paddleboat rentals, bike share, fishing area, playground, picnic area, shelter, parking lot and walking trails.  This park was attained in 2010 and was created as a cooperative effort by the Park District, the City of Batavia and a dedicated group of community members. Using primarily volunteer labor, donated material, and services, the walk was created over a six-year period. Extending from the entry plaza at Houston St. and going north along the Depot Pond, the path features a boardwalk leading to the North Point Pavilion, providing a grand view of the river. Following the path around to the east, walkers will encounter the Batavia dam as well as the Riverwalk wildflower sanctuary. In the buildings across the river, windmills were produced from the mid-1800s until the 1940s. Many examples of these mills can be found along the Riverwalk. The walk winds along the east side of the City of Batavia Government Center. At the south end of the Government Center pedestrians and bicyclists can cross a walking bridge to the east side of the river. Once there, they can access the eastern leg of the Fox River Bike Trail.
