A spooky forest awaits you at West Main Community Park. Join us for a haunted hike through our spooky trails where ghosts and ghouls come out to play at night. Gather your family friends for protection; you don't know what lurks behind those trees!
This event is not suitable for children younger than 10 years old.
Each person must be registered.
If you love to decorate your house and yard for the spooky season, now's your chance to win prizes for your creativity! Our popular Halloween House Decorating Contest returns for another year of showcasing Batavia's frightening and scary house decorations. Spots are limited; sign up early and let your imagination run wild with outdoor decor.
Prizes will be awarded for overall theme and people's choice. All displays will be judged on Wednesday, October 18, from 6-9 p.m. Judging is after sunset so be sure to turn on those outdoor lights! Winners will receive a Batavia Park District prize package the following day.
This contest is for Batavia Park District residents only. Addresses of all entries will be published in local media unless otherwise specified at the time of registration. Every house entered will be responsible for providing 3-5 photos of outdoor decorations that we will use for the people's choice award. Photos must be submitted by October 13 to nathanielj@bataviaparks.org.
