Robin Hall is a dynamic figure in Urbana Park District history. He began work at the park district in 1968 and served in several different positions, including Executive Director, until his retirement in 2004.

During his tenure at the UPD, Hall envisioned the Wandell Sculpture Garden at Meadowbrook Park with the intention of uniting three distinct elements: people, art, and nature.

The Wandell Sculpture Garden became the seed from which public art at the UPD would flourish. Since then, public art at the district has expanded to sculpture, murals, and programming across all UPD parks and facilities.

The Robin Hall Fund supports all types of public arts opportunities at the Urbana Park District. From the sculpture program, to arts-based special events, to youth arts programming, the Robin Hall Fund at the Urbana Parks Foundation seeks to make art and arts-based opportunities accessible to the public.

Originally established by the Urbana Park District in 2004 to support the sculpture program, the Robin Hall Fund was transferred to the Urbana Parks Foundation with a newly broadened scope to reflect the expansion of public arts programming at the Urbana Park District. Whether you are looking to help the district acquire a piece of sculpture, wishing to support arts programs for youth, or wanting to support your favorite arts-based special event, the Robin Hall Fund can make those visions a reality.
