Located in the western part of Champaign Centennial Park is the second largest park operated by the Champaign Park District. Land for the park was acquired in 1959 for an estimated cost of about $160000. Since its acquisition of the land the park district exchanged5 acres (20000 m2) of the park to Champaign Unit 4 School District in return for the land for Morrisey Park. Currently Champaign Centennial High School and Jefferson Middle School sit within the park.
