New Mini Park for Urbana

This "before" and "after" picture shows what can be done with a little initiative plus community support.

Between the Urbana Park District and the Champaign County Development Council Foundation (CCDC), a not-for-profit group, the Urbana Mobile Mini Park became a reality.

The new mini park is located at a major Urbana downtown intersection. "Before" the development of the park became a reality, the corner was a vacant dilapidated lot. Now the "after" scene shows a beautiful green and restful corner in the heart of the business community.
