About the Location
A Hidden Neighborhood Favorite
Positioned in East Peoria, Stiers Family Park is one of those sweet little green spaces that feels like the neighborhood's backyard. Under the care of the Fon du Lac Park District, this hillside retreat sits right next to a residential area, making it super convenient for locals looking to escape without actually going far.
The park has this lovely mix of open grassy areas and scattered trees that create natural shade spots - great for spreading out a blanket or just sitting back to enjoy some fresh air.
What You'll Find There
If you've got little ones, you'll appreciate the age-restricted playground where kids can burn off energy in a space designed with their safety in mind.
Planning a casual get-together? The park's picnic tables and shelter make it easy to host a small gathering or family meal without any fuss.
Don't let its modest size fool you - being perched on a hilltop gives this park some surprisingly nice views and a peaceful vibe that's hard to find elsewhere in the area.
Good to Know
Dog parents, rejoice! Your four-legged friends are welcome here as long as they stay on a leash. It's a nice spot for those daily walks when you both need some green surroundings.
And yes, it's completely free to visit - no admission fees to worry about.
Why Locals Love It
At its heart, Stiers Family Park is about simplicity. It's not flashy or packed with elaborate facilities, but that's exactly what gives it charm. It's a genuine community space where you can play with your kids, enjoy a quiet moment with a book, or just reconnect with nature without any pretense.
