Scott Park combines an urban green space with a restored prairie area near central Champaign.
A short path, public sculpture and play and picnic facilities provide several ways to pause outdoors close to the university neighborhood.
The photograph shows the actual park landscape. Look for the Startled sculpture and seasonal prairie planting while following shared paths. The park district manages the natural area with occasional prescribed burns, so heed temporary notices and keep out of work zones. Check current facility information before organizing a group activity. Individual play and court spaces may be affected by maintenance or reservations.
