Dear Residents:
While there isn’t a playbook for this pandemic, we know our community stays strong when we stay connected! We are here to serve you and your recreational needs indefinitely.
A Message from
Our Executive Director
At this time, pending any executive orders from the Governor, we are planning to open the Hall Quarry Beach this spring! We will be celebrating 100+ years of splashing good times! The season begins May 29 and will look a lot different than in years past (page 53). Due to the pandemic, we are taking extraordinary safety measures and must limit the number of people at the beach during any given time. Residents will have first priority for reserving designated time slots for daily admission. As a result, we will not be offering season passes this year; therefore Aloha Week will go on hiatus until next year. Sign up for one of our fitness classes now (pages 21-23) so you’ll be in swimsuit shape when temperatures rise!
From virtual programming and small-group classes to enhanced cleaning and safety measures, we are working around the clock to modify our operations and programming to comply with the Kane County Health Department and Illinois Department of Public Health guidelines. I am proud of my team that is working diligently to make sure the infrastructure of our parks, facilities, and programs remain safe so we can provide you with the opportunity to recreate during the pandemic.
Parents who need daytime supervision for their child during the remote learning school days can turn to our Bulldog Crimson/Gold Camp for a structured recreational enrichment program. This camp is designed for ages Kindergarten through 6th grade from 7:30 am – 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday (page 17). We are offering beginners pickleball and Kubb lessons for adults (page 30) and a host of different classes like chess, magic, and performing arts classes for children. One of our fastest growing youth sports programs is Girls Softball designed for 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U teams (page 29). We invite you to stay active and connected with us by visiting the Batavia Virtual Recreation Center at
bataviaparks.org.
On the east side of town, Hamlet Park will be receiving a facelift. Residents voted for their choice of playground equipment and selected one that features multiple climbing structures and a small scale merry-go-round that will provide countless hours of fun.
Be positive, test negative!
