Rio Vista’s paved trail along the New River has underpasses to keep you safe from traffic and gorgeous lush plantings to help the miles race by. Peoria has 17 miles of trails for non-motorized recreation. Get some early morning mindful exercise by practicing outdoor Tai Chi, Yoga or meditation at Palo Verde or one of our other parks with mountain views. Acquire a new outdoor skill by downloading a course on navigating by using a compass or a phone around the fixed orienteering course at Rio Vista or watch our beginner fishing video with Ranger Scott to see what you need to get started. For our little residents, choose one of our park playgrounds to work off some energy.

Nature Watching Along Peoria's Washes

Get your family outdoors for a nature scavenger hunt right in the heart of Peoria? The many green, unlined washes that run through Peoria offer pathways and cool green spots sheltering native plants and urban wildlife. In a wash, you can observe Cottonwoods, Goddings Willow, Cattails, Texas Vervain, Tall Flat Sedge, Toads (Couch’s spadefoot, Sonoran Desert and Red spotted toads) and Frogs, Snails and both Damselflies and Dragonflies. The wash at Skunk creek is renowned for its great diversity of Bird species, especially during spring and winter migrations. All washes are potential floodways and so users should never enter the wash. The trails on either side of the washes offer great elevated, safe viewing opportunities.

EACH PERSON COUNTED IS WORTH $3,000 IN CITY SERVICES MAKE SURE YOU COUNT!

IT’S SECURE

Under Title 13 of the U.S. Code, the Census Bureau cannot release any identifiable information about individuals… even to law enforcement agencies like the FBI and ICE.

IT’S YOUR MONEY

$650 billion is allocated based on the Census count. It’s your money-- whether it stays in Peoria or ends up in Sacramento is up to you. Be counted.

IT MATTERS

PEORIA’S QUALITY OF LIFE DEPENDS ON AN ACCURATE COUNT.

Peoria’s budget comes from state-shared revenue that is based on population. Your roads, parks, hospitals, schools, police and fire all depend on the outcome of the census.
