PEORIA (25News Now) – State Rep> Jehan Gordon-Booth and Peoria Park District leaders are set to unveil details on a new multi-million dollar roller-skating and ice-skating rink coming to Lakeview Park.

“It is my core belief that we must be visionary and invest in recreational spaces to create experiences that impact residents of all ages,” Gordon-Booth said in a press release. “I am appreciative of the hard work behind the scenes from the Peoria Park District to make this long-held vision I have had of this skating rink concept a reality, and I’m incredibly excited to see our families enjoy it.”

“This sort of collaborative approach is a shining example of our shared commitment to supporting spaces that enrich the lives of our residents and enhance Peoria’s ability to attract and retain families in our region,” said park district director Emily Cahill.

Gordon-Booth and park district officials will also share details about the grand secured by Gordon-Booth as well as information on other ways state funding will support area recreation, including pathway improvements to Donovan Park.
