Laurelwood Park was once part of a much larger private park owned by the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. The railroad operated the original Laurelwood during the early years of the 20th century. Presently, it is home to the Batavia Boat Club building. This facility has a multi-purpose room with a kitchenette as well as restrooms. The "Boat Club" is used by the district for programs as well as by affiliated and not for profit groups for their meetings. With its ample parking the site provides a good opportunity to "park and pedal" on the Fox River Bike Trail that runs through the park. Also featured at this site is a boat launch that provides access to the Fox River.
