The Pekin Park District is a very welcoming place to visit. The grounds are vast and incorporate over a dozen different parks - totalling 2,275 acres of land - that are all well planned and excellently maintained. It is really an impressive, well-developed system for proper recreation. There are several golf courses in this park system. A definite place to visit and enjoy would be a very attractive, 200-acres Mineral Springs Park and Lagoon, with fishing ramps and paddle boat ramps, numerous trails, kids playgrounds, various sports facilities, the historic Pavilion (built over hundred years ago), multiple picnic areas, concession stands ... The grounds and landscaping are beautiful, ample parking is available onsite, there are a lot of benches in shaded areas, under the huge trees - it's a perfect park for relaxation. The city of Pekin can undoubtedly be proud of Pekin Park District, that - for over 117 years - has been doing such a fantastic job for the community and visitors, who enjoy this beautiful park!
