The Champaign Park District recently approved a bid to develop a new park near the new Judah Christian School which could be open by the end of the year. From Monday's News-Gazette:
Bid's OK clears path for Commissioners ParkMore at the full article here.
...
In 2011, the park district essentially traded 6.4 acres at Dodds to the developers of the Parkland Point Apartment complex in exchange for 20 acres on Champaign's far west side. That land is directly north of Abbey Fields and northwest of the future site of Judah Christian School...
The current plan calls for maintaining 15 of the 20 acres as a natural area and developing five acres for park amenities.
Features at Commissioners Park will include a soccer field with goals, a sand play area, a picnic shelter and playground equipment. Development will also include a concrete walk and curb, grass, trees and shrubs.
The recreational area is being named Commissioners Park to honor anybody who has spent time as a Champaign Park District commissioner over the years.
