It's hard to hate any park. This park is another hit and if you're in Danville, it's a must stop…read more Every time I'm in the area, I always stop here. This park starts off with numerous baseball fields which I assume that little leagues use throughout the summer. Spread out around the park are a few small children's playgrounds. The organized sports and fun for the kids: Check! Near the middle of the park there is this decent sized pond with a fountain. Also ducks! Lots of ducks! Different ducks! Friendly ducks! Did I mention there are ducks? Benches and swings are all around the pond. It's the perfect place to take a daytime date to relax. Date/Nature/Pond: Check! On one side of the park and out of the way you'll find a small skate park. It is tiny and they really should expand it for the skaters in the area. They have more than enough room and it's hard to find great places to skate. Alternative activity space: Check! On the other side is a paved path that circles the park. It's a great path, but I wish it wasn't just a flat and winding path. They should install more trees or other things to admire. This path is surrounded by grass and only grass. I think this park could benefit from more trees, plants, and flowers. There is a gazebo on one side of the park in this area. There is also a dog park tucked away. The only reason this park gets a 4 instead of a 5 is because of wasted space. There's a lot of underutilized space that could be made beautiful here. I'm surprised anytime I talk to someone from the area and they have no idea that the park exists. Everyone from Danville and the surrounding area should use this park! No excuses!

Beautiful landscape, no urban sprawl. What you see is 1862.. trees are where trees were and open fields are where they were.

Yet; until you get to the top of the ridge; you have no clue what is behind it. Left Confederate Flank did not hit as many ridges; but, had their share of problems.

Their son-in-law fought on the Union side of the Civil War. In the years following the war, this lush property was a working dairy farm and has now blossomed into a multi-disciplined equestrian facility. The property's historical mansion once housed a school, then became a private residence, and has now been transformed into the beautiful Ashley Inn Bed & Breakfast, the perfect place to stay for extended events and equine layovers. Private guest rooms are located in the mansion and the many outbuildings, while the event facilities can successfully accommodate both small and large gatherings. Step back in time and enjoy the historical charm of days gone by while relaxing in modern comfort filled with a warm dose of southern hospitality. We look forward to your visit!

Other than the things mentioned above this place in quite sad. Most of the RVers here are permanent residents. It's very muddy and most of the rv spots aren't on any type of pad or even gavel. There are many many cats. Mostly ferrel cats but some are pets. We have paw prints all over our vehicles and one of them sprayed our BBQ grill! Yuck!!! There is a small playground that isn't much to speak of. Be careful that you don't step in cat poop! With a little tlc this place could be awesome!
