Peoria Hills Park

A Green Escape

Located in Aurora's suburban landscape, Peoria Hills Park stretches across 9 acres of inviting green space. This long, narrow park is a neighborhood gathering spot where community vibes blend with natural scenery. A paved walking path winds from one end to the other, with thoughtfully placed benches where you can catch your breath or simply sit back and take in the surroundings.

Kid-Approved Fun Zone

The recently updated playground area is definitely a highlight for families. We love how they've thoughtfully divided it into two sections - one for the little tots and another for bigger kids, ensuring everyone has age-appropriate adventures.

What makes this playground stand out are the outdoor musical instruments and interactive noise-making elements that add a creative twist to playtime. The spinning contraption has become something of a local legend among the younger crowd - just try getting your kids to leave without a few spins!

There's plenty of green space surrounding the play area for impromptu games of tag or just sprawling out on the grass. On those hot summer days, you'll appreciate the partial shade that keeps the playground area cooler than you might expect.

Picnic Central

Looking for a spot to gather? The park offers a clean, well-maintained covered picnic area with tables that can accommodate larger groups. This shaded retreat comes complete with a small charcoal grill - fantastic for everything from birthday celebrations to Sunday family cookouts.

Sports and Recreation

If you're into soccer or other field sports, you'll come across an informal soccer field ready for action. Just remember to bring your own goals, as the park doesn't provide permanent ones. This setup actually works well, allowing the space to transform based on whatever game you have in mind.

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Dog parents, rejoice! Peoria Hills is decidedly dog-friendly with generous open areas where your furry companions can stretch their legs. The spacious layout means there's plenty of room for dogs to run and play at a comfortable distance from the children's areas.

Facilities

As for restrooms, the park keeps it simple with a portable toilet that's regularly maintained and kept clean for when nature calls.
