Danville Parks and Recreation is hosting the second in its series of free community events called Heart the Park on Monday, February 21. The event is a part of ongoing efforts to engage residents in the park planning process. The event features a scavenger hunt for hearts in the park, prizes, tennis demonstrations, participatory art display, music, s’mores, and a firepit. The event will showcase illustrated examples of park additions or improvements that work toward goals that some community members have already identified for the parks. Participants are also encouraged to give feedback and sign up to be a part of future planning activities.

City partners and local organizations are co-hosting the event and showcasing how they are available with support and resources for healthy living and community building. The Health Collaborative, Opportunity Neighborhoods, Department of Community Development, Danville Police Department, Southside Area Tennis Association, and Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History will all be present with activities, information, and giveaways.
