Laura Bradley Park in Peoria stretches from a wooded bluff down toward the Dry Run Creek floodplain.
Its Japanese bridge, landscaped settings and varied terrain give visitors several different kinds of walk within the same park.
The park district identifies picnic areas, a playground, disc golf and a designated dog park among its facilities. Use current park guidance to choose an entrance and keep dogs within the rules for the particular area. The photograph shows the actual Japanese bridge. Ordinary outdoor access differs from a reserved shelter, organized game or theater program, so check those arrangements separately.
