There's a lot to see and do in the community surrounding Parkland College. Our campus is located in Champaign-Urbana, one of the largest urban areas in downstate Illinois. C-U possesses a sound economy that includes retailing, high-technology research and development, agriculture, light manufacturing, competitive health care, a first-rate transit system, great elementary/secondary school systems, and the University of Illinois. Yet this is only a part of the 55-community, 12-county world of the Parkland district, District 505. So feel free to explore the pages below for a good look at where we live, work, and play!
