Confirmed from Williams Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
City park offering a playground, basketball and tennis courts, picnic areas, and a walking path.
What runners say about Williams Park
“One of the best city parks in batavia with a well maintained playground, basketball court, baseball field, bathroom house, and walking path”
“Beautiful but yall there's a mosquito problem so make sure your kids got bug spray 🙄 😒”
“They have basketball courts, pavilion for eating and shade.”
This is my favorite park. The playground is small but clean and sturdy, all the swings work, and there's 2 cute dinosaurs to "ride." There's a few tennis courts, basketball courts, 2 baseball fields,and a medium pavilion. In the back of the park there are multiple trails and a few nice walking paths.
Beautiful park with lots of different courts and fields. There is a nice playground with lots of SHADE! It’s nice to able to sit on a bench and watch your kids play and not fry in the sun. There’s a paved path around the park good for walking or biking. I wouldn’t skate it, pavement is pretty degraded in some spots.
We go there to ride the Ellicott Trail on bikes. Just about five miles one way and we like to stop at Blondies for ice cream on the way back through.
