Public Input: Talk About It Tuesday - Peoria Park District

Careers Contact Us

The Peoria Park District is always evolving to meet the changing needs of our community. What’s ParkPossible? Anything we can imagine together! This page shares current projects and ideas we’re exploring with you—our PPD family. We’re committed to transparency, regular updates, and open dialogue.

Below, you’ll find ongoing public input opportunities, including our monthly Talk About It Tuesday sessions. We invite you to learn more, share your thoughts, and help shape the future of the Peoria Park District as we balance bold ideas with fiscal responsibility and community needs.

Dog Park Survey

The Peoria Park District is gathering information about how patrons use dog parks, trails, and other park spaces with their dogs. This short survey will help us better understand current use, the amenities dog owners value, and whether there are opportunities to better serve people and their dogs throughout the park system.

This survey is for fact-finding and planning purposes. No decision has been made to develop an additional dog park nor has funding been allocated to the effort, and completion of this survey does not indicate that a new dog park will be developed. Your feedback will help inform future planning and investment decisions.

Join the District for Talk About It Tuesday! These monthly sessions are an interactive conversation where you can share your ideas, ask questions, and connect with Peoria Park District Board of Trustees. Each month, we explore a different program, event, or topic at a PPD space.

Each Talk About It Tuesday is part of the District’s Programming Committee. In addition to the Talk About It, the committee meets monthly to review discussion and action steps and discuss with PPD staff any other Committee business outside of the Talk About It topic. View the Talk About It and Committee dates here.
