Read more about this location
Rio Vista Community Park Splash Pad is one of Peoria's strongest family options when you want a full-featured park day anchored by free water play. The 52-acre park adds a recreation center, playground and tot lot, skate park, lake, sports fields, walking path, and a large number of ramadas, so it works especially well for repeat visits and sibling groups. Families who like longer outings will appreciate how many activities can fit into one stop. The setup is open and spacious rather than enclosed, which is great for variety but means you need to keep eyes on small kids.
