Glen Oak Park Inclusive Playground is a fully inclusive play space inside one of Peoria’s biggest family destinations. The Peoria Park District describes it as an accessible playground where children of all abilities can play together, with vibrant structures, sensory-friendly equipment, and interactive elements. It opened in September 2024 and sits within Glen Oak Park near the Peoria PlayHouse Children’s Museum, Peoria Zoo, Luthy Botanical Garden, trails, picnic tables, and public restrooms. For many families, this works best as a longer outing rather than a quick neighborhood stop.
