Powell Park, nestled just inside the Westlake subdivision, is one of Chambana’s latest parks to be refurbished.
This 7.7-acre park offers play options for kids and adults. There is a nice new winding path for walkers/joggers and bikers, and is wide enough for two strollers to easily walk side by side. The playground is perfect for kids ages roughly 2-10. It also has benches around the play area for adults. With picnic areas and a basketball court for the adults, Powell Park is a great location for family time.
The new playground playscape offers two climbers with slides; a swing set for four people; and the new playscape climber, which resembles a multi-layer spiderweb crossed with a tower. This is definitely the favorite playscape at the park!
Things to know if you’re planing a visit to Powell Park:
–Be sure to pack sunscreen! There are some matured trees in the park, especially around the walking path, but the play area itself has little-to-no shaded area.
–Note that the Champaign Park District’s website does acknowledge grilling areas and picnic tables for Powell Park, and I have seen them in previous years, but have not seen them return since the park was under construction.
