Lakeview Recreation Center, a Peoria Park District facility at 1013 W. Lake Ave., hosts a summer day camp for ages 5 to 12 from late May to early August. Campers do arts and crafts, gaga ball, archery, nature activities, sports and field trips, with a new theme each week and trained counselors; the Peoria Park District's camps are accredited by the American Camp Association. The renovated building has two gymnasiums with four basketball courts, pickleball and volleyball courts, a dance studio and four classrooms, and also runs school's-out camp and open gyms.

Rented the space in May for an August party, canceled one week after booking(still in May) and instead of getting my whole refund back I was told they had to keep my cleaning deposit which was also supposed to be refundable. I wasn’t even in the space yet so there was nothing to clean why not give the whole amount back I paid? Don’t book here it’s not worth the hassle and there are too many rules.

I attended here as a guest to a children's birthday party. There is a big gym with different size balls as well as types. There were 10ish scooter boards and bikes, and a bat. The party room was big enough to fit 8 long folding tables that fit 10 people comfortably.

★★★★★Amanda Shomidie

We have used the rec center for my son's birthday three years in a row. The space is accommodating for larger parties and there is a room connected to the gym for hosting. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
