Thank you for thinking of Peoria Park District to help you with your fundraising efforts! At the Peoria Park District, our mission is to contribute to healthy and vibrant communities by responsibly using our resources to offer high quality parks, recreation, and education experiences to those who live, work, or play in our District. It is our honor to help our community through donation requests and we wish you the best of luck in your fundraising efforts!
Please note, all requests for funding must come through our online form below; at this time we are not able to respond to written or phone inquiries.
