As of 2006, Sky Harbor International Airport, which began operation before 1935, never had a major crash or accident. Rather, the airport continues to constantly update equipment, terminals and screening procedures each year. Future plans include a new concourse and lanes, as well as major renovations on existing structures.

Peoria’s larger public parks, such as Rio Vista Community Park and Sonoran Mountain Ranch Park, include a great range of facilities. Residents and visitors can rent ramadas for sheltered picnicking, exercise on walking and jogging paths, visit playgrounds and skate areas, and play sports such as volleyball, softball and basketball.
