Springdale Cemetery — Attraction in Peoria

I'm only giving this cemetary 2 stars because of a few reasons. Half of the grave stones you can't even see! They are all covered up with overgrown grass! Every other cemetary I have gone to weedeats around the stones. It's sad that half of these people who passed aways stones are not visible anymore. We have to dig out my grandparents stone out every time we go. When they cut grass they just ride right over the stones not taking care of the vases. My grandparents vase WAS attached by a chain but got ran over from the lawnmower it seems and broke it off!! When they bury new people they just run right over the other people stones! Someone new got buried next to my grandparents and they just ran the equipment right over his stone BREAKING the marble under it!!! They are in the process of cutting down some trees in the cemetary.

So, the size of the cemetery is impressive and please be aware of people walking when you drive around here. And, don't speed, its parking lot...

Nice place to walk the dogs. Lots of roads and trails. Usually a quiet getaway in any season. When the staff keeps up on mowing and other maintenance, it's beautiful. We see wildlife every time we visit: deer, squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, a fox, a coyote, fish, and zillions of birds.

Downers include the countless monuments that have been damaged, broken, moved, tossed away into the woods, etc. Lots of suspicious activity - - cops have stopped us 3 times to ask if we saw drug deals or kids breaking into parked vehicles. Pet parents, please be responsible, it'd be a nicer place if everybody picked up after their dogs, and why is it the worst behaved pups that the owners insist are OK to...
