Pre-Event Planning

Give yourself time to enjoy the full park experience. Veterans Memorial Park includes multiple ballfields and recreational spaces, offering a relaxed environment for families and groups to connect before the first pitch. If you’re celebrating a birthday or special occasion, plan a casual meet-up in the park prior to the game to get the whole crew together.

Because seating is general admission, coordinate arrival times so your group can choose a block of seats together. Aim for the middle or top rows if you want more flexibility to keep your group in one area with solid sightlines across the diamond.

If you’re making a day of it, check the team’s game schedule and consider nearby dining before or after the event. Peru and the surrounding Illinois Valley area offer a range of classic spots — from drive-ins and grills to Italian and Mexican favorites — within a short drive of the park.
