parking and other information

Take Route 9 west to Bloomington/Normal.

At the first stop light, Towanda Barnes road, turn right and take this about 3 miles to Fort Jesse Road. Turn left at the light and then follow this to the Veteran’s Parkway stoplight. Turn right, north. This road will go past a Menards on your right, follow the signs that tell you to go to Peoria (I-74), you will loop onto I-55 and go about 4-5 miles until you see the I-74 Peoria exit, you will need to be in the right lane. Merge onto I-74.

Take I-74 to Peoria.

The best Route is to exit just past the Illinois River Bridge, Exit 93, Route 24/29 North. Follow Route 24, at the intersection of Route 24 and Route 150, continue straight. The road now becomes Route 29. Do not turn!

Follow this road north along the river and Detweiller Park will be on your left.

You can also exit I-74 at Exit 95 and go north on 116/150 thru East Peoria and then at the intersection of Route 24 turn left, west, go the Route 29 intersection and turn right and follow this north to Detweiller.

If you want to avoid most of Peoria traffic, exit I-74 at Goodfield (exit 112) go north to Eureka 7 miles. Turn left at the stop sign onto Route 24. Follow this west to the same intersection with Route 24/Route 29 above. This is a mix of 2 lane and 4 lane traffic. This is not the quickest way.
