Welcome to Peoria, AZ, Arizona

Peoria, a city just 14 mi (23 km) northwest of Phoenix, Arizona, has the unique attribute of having changed both little and much since its inception. What started off simply as a prospective farming community in the 1880s has grown to include a population of over 120,000, yet Peoria has maintained its small town charm and atmosphere. Its success is largely due to a winning tri-fecta of its natural environment, close proximity to Phoenix and a year-round climate of sunshine with daily temperatures averaging 86°F (30°C).

Not surprisingly then, Peoria places an emphasis on outdoor and sporting activities. Hills interspersed throughout the city, known as the Sunrise, West Wing and East Wing Mountains, are home to several hiking trails, while Lake Pleasant at the city’s northern end is a haven for water enthusiasts. As Arizona’s second largest body of water, the lake has two marinas–including Pleasant Harbor–and is popular for its sailing, water-skiing and fishing opportunities. Peoria is also home to Major League Baseball when many of the league’s teams come to Arizona for spring training and baseball fans can catch both the Seattle Mariners and the San Diego Padres in action at the Peoria Sports Center. And for something novel, visitors and locals can enjoy an excursion to the Challenger Space Center, which features simulated flight missions.
