PEORIA, Ill. — Changes will soon be coming to Peoria’s Glen Oak Park. Wednesday night, the park district’s board unanimously approved the park’s “Conceptual Reimagination Plans”.
Some changes include an all-inclusive playground, three half-court basketball courts, and two picnic shelters.
One Peoria resident told news partner 25 News, the playground needs an upgrade.
“It needs to be accessible for all kids and it needs to be safe from splinters and that fortress mentality. So, we have to upgrade, we all have to face change,” said Joyce Blumenshine.
The park district board has not made a decision on the Glen Oak Park Amphitheatre, but will vote on a pavilion project at Donovan Park in October.
