Woodruff Park

Historic Baseball Legacy

Spread across 10.1 acres, Woodruff Park is home to the historic Woodruff Field - a baseball diamond with roots stretching back to 1923. Back in its heyday, this field buzzed with professional and semi-professional baseball action. While the pros have moved on, the field hasn't lost its charm and now hosts community games where local talents can step up to the plate.

One of the coolest things about this park is the preserved outfield wall that still stands tall, a silent witness to Peoria's sporting history that you can actually reach out and touch.

Natural Setting

Tucked between the flowing Illinois River and the meandering Dry Run Creek, Woodruff Park offers a pretty sweet backdrop for anyone looking to escape the urban hustle. It's nothing fancy - just a simple, peaceful green space where you can breathe a little easier while soaking in a bit of historical atmosphere.

Community Space

You won't find flashy playground equipment or modern amenities here, but that's part of what makes Woodruff Park special. It's an unpretentious community gathering spot that hosts local events and provides open space for whatever outdoor activities strike your fancy. The park offers an interesting mix of historical preservation and accessible green space.
