Shaded Playgrounds in the Peoria Area

Posted on: Sat, 07/31/2010 - 18:02| By: GinaBina

Below is a list of shaded playgrounds for those unbearably hot days when the kids need to run off energy.

Grandview Drive Park is our summer favorite. The play structure, swings, sandbox, & picnic area are completely shaded under towering trees. Plus, there are restrooms nearby. The park is located near the intersection of Grandview Dr & Reservoir in Peoria Heights.

Glen Oak Park Playground behind the park office building is great for kindergarteners & younger. The playground, picnic area, sandbox, & swings are shaded well.

Detweiller Park near the Dogwood shelter has the playground & picnic area shaded. There are also restrooms.

Take the Tour: Children’s Hospital of Illinois & Hy-Vee Grocery Store

Posted on: Wed, 07/14/2010 - 19:03| By: GinaBina

The new Children’s Hospital of Illinois has a public open house with tours this weekend, July 17-18. View the PeoriaParent.com calendar for more details. It’s a close-up view, before the hospital opens in August.

Hy-Vee is a new grocery store in Sheridan Village that opened this week. I’ve heard several mommies excited about the Caribou Coffee. It’s something to check out, if you want to explore a different grocery shopping scene.
