If has that nice spongy ground covering as well as cedar chips by the swings. I did NOT see any bathroom either drop in or built in so if you are jumping off the interstate on a trip you will need to still go someplace else for that. Overall a really nice place to get out and stretch. Plenty of parking around the surrounding streets.

Went here with the granddaughter who's almost three and it was perfect. Although the nature center…read morewasn't open, there's a raised boardwalk trail that's about a half mile loop through a heavily erode wooded area. The boardwalk was perfect because it rained the night before. We went around twice and the second time had a deer watching us from about fifty yards away. The granddaughter loved it!

We had a family event here the other night and our kids and parents loved it. The staff were…read moreincredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure we split our attendees into groups so as to keep the numbers down for each station. This allowed our families a more intimate experience at each learning station the staff provided. The kids were able to see snakes, turtles, and owls up close and learned all about them. They also did a craft project which was a huge hit. I can't say enough good things about the staff and how they helped us organize the event. The center itself is a wonderful place with so much to do. They have a soon-to-be-open natural playground next to the center as well as a variety of running/walking trails in a variety of distances. If you haven't been here, you're truly missing out.

Such a great park. It's quiet and clean and you just never know what wildlife you're going to see.read more

This RV park doesn't have it all, but what it has is fantastic…read more Just spent the weekend at buddy sites 11/11A. Full hookups and the sites are roomy. Very clean and perfectly maintained shower house and laundry facilities. 1st class host(s) that escort you to your site and welcome you with a warm smile. The best part is that it's so peaceful and the small lake is very nice. I highly recommend it.

Explained the rules. After that another camp worker, sweet friendly woman escorted us to our spot. I had ordered fire wood online but, when she was bringing us to our site, there was "extra" from the previous campers. Long day of driving ended with a nice relaxing late afternoon/evening. P.S. bonus-nice little gated, Clean dog run. Thank you so much for everything. What a great night. Dogs got exercise, bon fire, cold peanut butter stout. Cheers until next time. I'll be back!!

This is a great dog park in Urbana, IL. We stopped here on a road trip through the area. It has…read morewater for humans and dogs, poop bags, benches, hydrants, large trees for shade and open area for throwing tennis balls. You can pay annually ($35) or daily ($5) to use this place. It's completely fenced in so you can let your dog run.

This is the best dog park I can remember visiting. This is based on the size, the other dogs/owners…read morein attendance, and the varied areas. The park features wide open grass areas, a couple areas of high grass, a forested area, and a separate area for little dogs. The park itself is pretty good sized, maybe 1/2 mile in circumference if you walk the fence (as many folks do). It should be noted that there are many more bully breed dogs on Saturday and Sunday afternoons than other times. I dont have anything against these breeds per se, but they do play a little too rough for some dogs. There are very few inconsiderate people at this dog park, which I think is what makes it such a good one, but you'd still be wise to watch your step and keep a close eye on your dog. I know my little gremlin loves to come here, and I'm usually able to strike up a convo w/ somebody interesting.

We visited the Salt Fork River preserve for an outdoor wedding, and then popped next door to the…read moreSalt Fork Center for the reception. The preserve itself is lovely and looks well-managed. The Salt Fork Center is an aging A-frame building, and the A/C was NOT working. After being crowded inside a few hours, guests began to figure out that the exterior temperature had come down enough that it felt slightly cooler outside. Putting aside the A/C problem, this place offered an easy-to-access water-and-woods escape from Champaign-Urbana, just 15 to 20 minutes away.

I feel like I left a beautiful fairy land that should not exist in this world…read more The lake here blends beautifully with the smooth grass that surrounds it. The way the sun hits this lake is comparable only to pictures that I have seen in story books of lands far away or that have only existed in our imaginations. When the sunsets over it colors are displayed on this iridescent canvas that have no name. The trees are simply gorgeous with amazing diversity in variety. They supply ample shade for picnicers and families enoying the peace and beauty here. There are many ancient trees that appear to be hundreds of years old deep in the woods. Homer Lake as the people who live near here call it also bosts many amenities such as a look out tower, various trails, play grounds, and a very educational nature center. I left here feeling at peace. What a beautiful place!

My grandson was bitten there last year and today my 20 month old granddaughter was growled at and I barely caught her from running up to it. The dog owner was shouting NO- at my toddler granddaughter. But guess what- she's a toddler who has a dog at home who is friendly. She doesn't know better! If your dog doesn't like kids. Go to the dog park! Not to a park where kids play. I love dogs. But kids are are more important!

It was back in the woods near a clear lake. There were paved trails we rode our bikes on to get around. The boat dock was pretty looking out to another lake area. There were old buildings that were well kept on the festival grounds. Very neat! Especially the old train car that is set up as an old restaurant that used to be in service. I would love to come back to the park for the festival and other times throughout the year! I know some festivarians had unfortunate experiences getting into the festival grounds Wednesday and Thursday because of Wednesday's downpour but to me they tried their best to get things up to par as quick as possible and continued everyday throughout the weekend. They also had a small disc golf course set up and a playground that I noticed.
