Neumann Park — Attraction in East Peoria

Review Date: September 23rd, 2015

Neumann Park could be a neu park for you to visit.

Neumann park is, but isn’t, your standard park. In a sense, it’s your normal park that has a playground, sandbox, and all those other goodies you expect from a park. This park has all that stuff but also some shelters you can reserve for parties. While that is not terribly too uncommon for parks, there is also something else that this area has. I will get to that here in a second.

This park is fun. It has some fun equipment to play on. The playgrounds are expansive with plenty of room for many families and kids. There are two shelters (I believe, dont’ quote on that) that you can throw your 2nd (or 21st) birthday party at.

Now, what separates this area (not so much the park) is the Fon-du-lac Farm Park. I haven’t been there since I was a kid and that will warrant it’s own blog post at another time.

But yeah, as for this park… you can’t go wrong. There is plenty of car parking, playground equipment, activities and space for kids to run around and tucker themselves out. Not only is it a nice park but it is also a scenic area away from the hustle and bustle...

The farm park is a wonderful place for young kids. The interaction the kids get with the different animals are priceless. The entrance fee is very minimal for adults and children also. The ice cream cones they sell with food to feed the animals is only $.50 each. They have concessions for food and drinks also. The farm park is a hidden gem and resonates for generations. I'm 40 and remember going there as a kid and having a blast. After I had my son a year and a half ago I couldn't wait to take him there. We've been twice this year and wouldn't change it for anything. Do yourself and your child/ children a favor and visit...

Gigantic playground across from the riding therapy center is so fun. This bigger playground is for 5-12 year olds but has lots of activities that work for typical 3-4 year olds. Many spots to climb, slide, turn wheels, or make music. The smaller playground closer to the park entrance is also fun but fewer play options and no shade. The minor downsides are 1) the smell from the farm park when it's windy and 2) it's hard to keep track of multiple kids on the bigger playground because of the size. Those are very minor though when you consider how much fun the kids have...
