Best softball fields in town. Pretty much the only softball fields in town. Best concession stand at the only softball fields in town. Best softball umpires in town, supporting pretty much the only softball leagues in town. Very nice people playing softball. Horrible terrible softball people. People I want on my team. People I want to hurt really bad. If you sign up for softball, make sure you fill out your roster, otherwise you will get too many emails from the league guy telling you to fill out your roster. No drinking. People bring dogs. There is a covered place for kids to play, so that foul balls don't brain your offspring. Field 5 has a hole behind 3rd base, you might roll your ankle heading there, if you take a wide turn to go home. Field 4 sucks at 7 pm if you are a left handed batter as the sun completely makes the ball disappear. Field 6 sucks at 7 pm if you are a pitcher, as the sun completely makes the ball disappear coming off the opponents bat (there is no shame in wearing face protection). It's dangerous. Field 7 plays ok almost all the time, the only issue might be a throw from 3rd to first. Across the street are the old fields. They are nice as well. Field 2 has the 7 pm batting issue, the rest are pretty good. Annoying people go there and play Frisbee golf. There is apparently also soccer fields. Around the 4th of July you can't tell if people are shooting off fireworks, or if there was a massive gun shootout in the local neighborhood. Both are equally likely. Do they have the fireworks back here now? Apparently not, it used to be here, but has moved to U of I. The roads leading into the park are pot holed and sometimes pretty horrible. There is the tribute to Olympic athletes, which is sort of an arch/doorway thingy. There is a community garden type thing, but I don't know how that works. This was one of the locations that people kind of wanted for the new/moving Champaign High School. It rains too much in this location. read more
