About EastSide Centre

With a rich history dating back over 25 years, EastSide Centre Sports Complex is one of the premier athletic facilities in the Midwest. Longtime host to both IHSA’s State Softball Championships, and IESA’s State Track and Baseball Finals, EastSide Centre has hosted a variety of sport and special events over the years.

Our sports complex is home to 10 baseball/softball fields. 5 of these fields are newly renovated FULLY SYNTHETIC TURF as of April 2024. We are also home to 4 natural grass full length soccer/lacrosse fields, a 4400 seat football stadium, 3 indoor basketball courts, a 20,000 sqft gymnasium, an indoor walking track, and a fitness center fully equipped with strength and conditioning equipment.

Located just off Interstate 74, our facility lies within the Department of Tourism and Special Events for the City of East Peoria. Our goal is to serve the community of East Peoria and surrounding areas, while also being a tourist attraction for folks from out of town in the surrounding Midwest.
