This is a great park. Fantastic for walking and bicycling. We enjoy the sledding in the winter time too. The windmill has tours available during the summer and is quite interesting. It is fully functional and in great shape.

Lots to do, and recently expanded. I used to come here to rollerskate when I was a child, now as an adult I bring my kids here to have fun! There is so very much to do! They offer roller skating as well as in-line. The Bowling is fun and they host tournaments regularly. The arcade is still a treat! Lots of multi person games to play against or with your family and friends. We enjoy their Mini Golf, they offer multiple courses. My daughter and I enjoy the use of their batting cages. I have taken my kids to their GOKARTS for a long time to learn to drive. It is a great way to get the kids exposure to a gas and break pedal, as well as traffic. It is also fun to play a little bumper cars with the gokarts. There are a bunch of outdoor games for all ages. The food is very reasonably priced, as well are the drinks.

My wife and I met friends, another couple, here for drinks, food, and some live music. Cozy yet modern setting serving upscale appetizers and great martinis. The bar tenders are extremely knowledgeable and can help with your drink choices. This is a definite must stop if you are in Batavia.
