About us

The Peoria Park District (formal name: The Pleasure Driveway and Park District of Peoria) was organized in 1894 and was the first park system formed in Illinois. Our mission: We contribute to healthy and vibrant communities by responsibly using our resources to offer high quality parks, recreation, and education experiences to those who live, work, or play in our District. We will be responsible stewards of all District resources. We will focus on services that make the greatest impact. We will create a culture that values and supports each other, those we serve and our community. The Peoria Park District has been honored with the highest and most prestigious honor attainable by a park and recreation agency: the 2010 Gold Medal Grand Award by the American Academy for Park & Recreation Administration in partnership with the National Recreation & Park Association.
