The Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Parks is the site of the ruins of a 1,500-year-old Hohokam village. Here visitors can explore the ruins and see reproductions of the people’s homes as they were hundreds of years ago. They can also explore exhibits highlighting the now-extinct Hohokam culture.

There are nearly thirty public parks in Peoria. While the majority of these are less then ten acres in size, Peoria is also home to Lake Pleasant Regional Park, covering over 23,000 acres and offering residents and visitors a great range of outdoor activities to enjoy.
