Any of the park trails you listed available for mountain bikes or appropriate for road bikes?

Farmdale is a huge mountain biking Mecca. The mountain bikers are the guys that built the trails.

Indy Park, Dirksen, and Black Partridge also allow mtn. bikes.

All of these trails are single track dirt.

For road bikes try the Rock Island Trail, a rails to trail in north Peoria.
