Shape shared park spaces at 2019 Listening Tour in Batavia

The Batavia Park District Board and staff will host a Listening Tour throughout the community in May and June to do a deeper dive into the Community Needs Assessment Survey results. The Listening Tour will be a time for the Park District to listen, gather input, and collect insights from the public to help shape our shared spaces.

Local residents are encouraged to come "Connect, Contribute, and Create" in open discussion with the park board, executive director, and key staff members to share their vision in regards to the recreational programming, facility, and park district amenity needs of the community.
