I used to come to this park often when I lived in Champaign, IL. Some friends and I used to play…read morebaseball in this park. I also brought my girlfriend to this park to talk about what was bothering her. Before moving to Champaign, IL I used to come to this park often. Later when I had moved away to another town I came back to this park with my new puppy before going on to move back into my parents home for awhile. Years later I brought a new girlfriend to this park to show her where I used to park to think things over. I also showed her a tree that had grown into a huge shade tree. I told her that many years ago it was only a sapling not much taller than me.

Among the nicer parks in Champaign. Hessel Park isn't too big but it's still big enough. It has…read morelots of athletic facilities including for baseball and tennis. Even has a fountain. There's also a trail that goes around it. Big enough park for many activities. It has some pretty good athletic facilities. The local youth leagues have games and there's also kids just playing for fun too. Hot summer days are cool here. It has a big sprinkler area in the middle. This is a good place to take kids to cool them all off. For adults, there's areas for grilling. The pavilions are popular for holidays. Good park for almost everyone. It has a good amount of parking around it. There's a big water area for kids, there's sports, and there's a few trails.

I loved the wooden playground here when I was growing up. They've recently remodeled the…read moreplayground and while I'll miss the one I grew up with, I am happy to see my daughter enjoying the new one. I love how many benches there were for adults. It's always crowded when we come which is great, our daughter makes friends to play with while she's here and has a great time. I really enjoyed the walking trails too, the sculptures are really cool. Bathrooms were locked and the water fountains were off. There were port a potties though.

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.

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.

We came on a random Tuesday morning and were pleasantly surprised by the Toddler Tuesday deal ($10…read morefor kid and adult!) and we actually had the whole place to ourselves! That was awesome! This was my 4 yo daughter's first time at a trampoline park and I'm so glad she got to experience it with no crowd or pressure. It's a huge place and very open, bright, and clean. There were so many different areas to explore! An enclosed obstacle course for little ones, big air bag for the more adventurous jumpers, foam pit obstacle courses (great for races I assume!), volleyball, basketball, balance beams, and a little-kid-friendly zone. There was a food court offering pizza and other fun kid-friendly foods. Upstairs were made for big groups and parties with lots of seating and private rooms. There was also a Photo Booth, arcade games, massage chairs, and claw machines. I'm sure older kids have a great time jumping around and celebrating here. It also looked like they have family bundle deals with food. It's a fun place to be on cold days to get that energy out!

This place is trash…read more - the party area assigned to us had trash on the floor--straws, utensils, napkins from the party before us. The place looked unkempt like everything was set up in a rush. Extra plates and utensils from the previous party were just placed on the sides. - The biggest issue was the AC did not work! The place didnt provide fans or anything to keep the party area cool enough to be comfortable.. my guests and I were burning up in there esp with the heatwave. They could've called me early in the day and let me know their AC was broken so I could make arrangements like maybe bring fans from home or something. Elevate did not offer ANY solution to their problem and caused inconvenience. Mind you my party was later in the afternoon and Elevate could have called and warned me about the broken AC! - Very very poor customer service! Nothing was explained at all. No calls 2-3 days before the party to go over things. For $600 I expected to have the party area dedicated to my childs party, family and friends -- but they had told me when I arrived that I was going to be sharing the space! I was livid but had to suck it up cuz wtf else can I do?? The host assigned to my party was rude, chaotic and then blamed his behavior on how busy and hot the place was.. AND he had the audacity to ask for a tip after the party..... what in the actual hell.
