Quiet park with an amazing tree, shockingly it's 500 years old.nnThere is minimal traffic in the area, and it has a few benches and tables to sit.

Nice small park around a very old tree. If you want a little piece of history about the Peoria area, definitely recommend. There is a large grassy area in front of the tree that is a good photo opportunity. There are also a few picnic tables and benches for seating. Additionally, noticed some pseudo trails going into the brush but not sure what they lead to.

Lol, reading some of the comments. Yes it’s a small park on a quiet street devoted entirely to honoring a truly Great burr oak tree, dated by international arborists to 1499!!!!! (thus, “not much going on” unless you have the imagination to realize how AWESOME that is, from so many perspectives).nnIt’s absolutely enormous —more like a grove of 20 trees all attached— but, as giant old trees do, somehow exudes gentleness and calm (as many other reviewers noticed). My 6-year old was plenty happy chatting with a local ginger cat who came out and greeted us, then retreated to its hedge at a safer distance... and then looking for interesting bugs and birds with me in the huge branches overhanging the iron fence. I’m so deeply grateful to the people that first decided to protect and honor this tree and all those who have carried the torch since then. Thank you so much!!!

Great little park with a lot of history. A rolling grassy area. Picnic tables in the shade.
