Press release
Batavia, NY — The Genesee County Department of Public Works will be sealing the blacktop walking trail
at DeWitt Recreation Area on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, as part of regular park maintenance efforts.
Work may begin as early as 6:00 a.m., and the blacktop portion of the trail will be temporarily closed to
all foot traffic during the sealing process. Regular visitors are asked to refrain from using this section of
the trail and instead take the alternate route around the pond, which will remain open to the public.
Please note that this project is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement
conditions.
The County appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as we complete this important
maintenance work to keep our park facilities safe and enjoyable for all.
