Parks @ Urbana-Champaign
During my time at the UIUC, I've enjoyed visiting a variety of parks in the area, each offering its own unique charm and beauty. This blog documents my visits. I am trying to visit 50 parks by the end of the semester.
Update: Originally, this blog began as a personal challenge to visit 50 parks during FA2025 at UIUC. Over time, it evolved into a more general blog of key events during the FA2025 semester. I might remove these later.
