amenities.

world.
In the springtime, thousands of
baseball-hungry fans flock to Peoria Sports
Complex, spring training home of the Seattle
Mariners and San Diego Padres.
Recreational opportunities abound in the
Northwest Valley. Boating, fishing and water
sports are available at 10,000-acre Lake

Regional Park offers hikers a chance to
discover ancient Indian petroglyphs or trek

The residential community of El Mirage has
its roots in farming, having been settled by
migrant workers in the early 1930s.

small-town atmosphere. But it is now one of

7,500 homes are expected to be built in a
dozen subdivisions and the city is estimated
to reach more than 20,000 residents in the
next decade.
Just southwest of El Mirage is Luke Air
Force Base, home of the 56th Fighter Wing
and the largest jet-training base in the
world.

Today, it is a model for all other

Sun City, which is age-restricted to
residents 55 and over, offers more than 350
clubs and civic organizations. The community
also includes 1,200 acres of golf courses
