Sawgrass Playground

Not a lot of people talk about this one, but it’s a solid neighborhood spot if you’re in the area. Champaign has its share of parks, and Sawgrass holds its own as a decent local option for families just looking for somewhere close to get outside. Details on the equipment are sparse, so it’s worth a quick drive-by before committing to a full afternoon trip. That said, sometimes a low-key local park is exactly what you need.
