Wesley Park Playground Redesign Meeting

Champaign Park District invites community members to attend a public meeting to discuss the replacement of the Wesley Park playground. The meeting will take place on Thursday, April 30, at 6pm at the Douglass Annex (804 N Fifth St).

Community members will have the opportunity to provide feedback on proposed playground equipment presented by Nutoys Leisure Products. Children are encouraged to attend.

The Park District’s playground redesign will align with future improvements to the Martin Luther King Trail, a project led by the City of Champaign. The new playground will be relocated to a more central location within the park’s green space. The redesign will also prioritize modern equipment for children ages 2-12 and feature fixtures different from those in nearby parks.  

Construction is targeted to begin in August or September 2026 and will be completed by October 2026.  

Wesley Park is located at 915 N Third St and is 2.8 acres. Park amenities include substantial green space, the playground, a path system, and basketball courts. More information about the park can be found at: https://champaignparks.org/places/wesley-park/
