Lol, reading some of the comments. Yes it’s a small park on a quiet street devoted entirely to honoring a truly Great burr oak tree, dated by international arborists to 1499!!!!! (thus, “not much going on” unless you have the imagination to realize how AWESOME that is, from so many perspectives). It’s absolutely enormous —more like a grove of 20 trees all attached— but, as giant old trees do, somehow exudes gentleness and calm (as many other reviewers noticed). My 6-year old was plenty happy chatting with a local ginger cat who came out and greeted us, then retreated to its hedge at a safer distance... and then looking for interesting bugs and birds with me in the huge branches overhanging the iron fence. I’m so deeply grateful to the people that first decided to protect and honor this tree and all those who have carried the torch since then. Thank you so much!!!

A must-see for visitors to Peoria who love history.

Really cool looking tree. Wish there was alittle more to look at or a nice trail. But the tree was worth the stop.

So peaceful, no garbage around which is a plus!! The tree is a wonder to see

I love history and this tree is the epitome of history. Was planted in the late 1400's and my bestie in the pic took me here while I was visiting from Florida. Was breathtaking and worth a look see :)

Nice small park around a very old tree. If you want a little piece of history about the Peoria area, definitely recommend. There is a large grassy area in front of the tree that is a good photo opportunity. There are also a few picnic tables and benches for seating. Additionally, noticed some pseudo trails going into the brush but not sure what they lead to.

This is a magnificent tree. If you are a tree lover, you must make a quick stop.

A nice spot to enjoy an ancient tree that is over 500 years old. You can't access the tree directly as it's surrounded by a fence to protect it. There is a picnic table and plenty of grass to walk around it and enjoy thinking about the amount of time it's been there.

Lovely old neighborhood, trees abound, historical plaque on Burr Oak Origin; great for walking

It's a neat little park with a giant oak tree. There are a few small trails down a short hill. Too bad people throw trash and bottles down there. Lots of broken glass. No children's play area, but a decent amount of open area.

I missed our tour guide today. He is literally the cats meow. Historic and makes you think how short our life is. Take time to reflect and to pet the guide.

Beautiful tree peaceful great place to rest and hang out

Wonderful conversation. Very beautiful inside and out. I bowd in her beauty. GREAT PLACE TO PONDER, GREAT ADVICE.

One of the most epic trees you'll ever see
