BATAVIA, Ohio — Batavia Township will close part of the paved walking trail at its Community Park on Thursday for the last round of surface sealant work planned this year, the township said in a social media post.
Crews plan to seal sections of the trail on Aug. 27, and the affected stretch will be closed to residents while the work is done, the township said. Officials asked visitors to follow posted signage and stay off the treated surface, warning that it will be wet. The township said the sealing marks the final scheduled improvement to the park’s paved trails this year.
The trail is the Louis Moore Memorial Walking Trail, a 1.25-mile paved loop that winds through Batavia Township Community Park, a 71-acre facility at 1535 Clough Pike that the township calls its flagship park. The trail is named for Louis Moore, a township trustee who served from 1961 to 1997, and was completed and dedicated in 2014.
While the paved loop is closed, the township encouraged residents to use the park’s wooded nature trails instead. Community Park also includes two playgrounds, three pickleball courts, an 18-hole disc golf course completed in 2023, two picnic shelters, a fishing pond, the David J. Stricker Dog Park and the Jim Bushman Memorial Baseball Complex, according to the township.
More information on the park is available on the township’s website, bataviatownship.org.
