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.

For many families, this works best as a longer outing rather than a quick neighborhood stop.
