Centennial Park in west Champaign encompasses a massive 70 acre piece of land, and for good reason. Inside of its borders we have a children's petting zoo, a badass public pool, the Leonard Recreation Center, Cannonball Hill, a great playground for kids to get dirty, and so much more.

Year of the Park, A to Z: Glenn Park, Champaign
The newly remodeled Glenn Park is the importance of civil engineering and creative design on display. What was once something of a throwaway space has been redesigned into a truly hidden gem. Nevermind the traffic on Mattis; you can't hear it at all when you are in the park.
