CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) - Governor JB Pritzker and local leaders celebrated the dedication of the new all-abilities activity hub in Champaign on Tuesday.
The project was funded through a $600,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, designed to be an inclusive, special recreation area that will serve people of all abilities.
Pritzker said the space will do more than just give kids a place to be active.
"It will help our children find a sense of independence and confidence and belonging. Lifelong friendships and memories will be formed right here," Pritzker said.
The Open Space Land Acquisition and Development Grant provided the funding used.
