    Do you hear the call of the wild? Do you have the craving for some fresh air? Then grab your hiking boots and a sturdy walking stick because it’s time for a nature walk. The destination is Meadowbrook Park, the best park in the CU area.

    Located on Windsor Road, Meadowbrook Park has more than 60 acres of natural prairie land. It is a window into the past landscape of Illinois, complete with wildflowers, short and tall grasses and wildlife. Recreants enjoy the multiple facets of the great outdoors that Meadowbrook Park offers.

    Tim Cohan, a student at the University, says, “The best thing about Meadowbrook Park is the variety of activities — bike riding, roller skating, hiking and walking paths and playgrounds for families.”

    Meadowbrook is a place for everyone. It can be an escape or an adventure, and the experience is never the same twice. Whether you enjoy just a leisurely stroll or you are an avid birdwatcher, Meadowbrook has ample acreage to satisfy your fancy. Cohan describes it best as “just a really nice, peaceful area to relax.”

    I don't know. Meadowbrook is a very good park - but Allerton blows it away
