Danville Parks and Recreation is pleased to announce that, in partnership with the Danville Running Club, the Danville Riverwalk Trailhead Stretching Stations Project is officially complete.
The project was funded through a Make More Happen Grant by the Danville Regional Foundation in the amount of $14,718.23.Â
âStretching is a key, but often overlooked, aspect of individual health and fitness,â said Mark Holland, Coordinator of Special Projects for the Danville Running and Fitness Club. âThe goal of this project is to provide pre- and post-exercise stretching areas for Danville Riverwalk users.âÂ
The stations are located at some of the major Riverwalk trailheads, including Anglers Park, Stinson Drive, Dan Daniel Park, Crossing at the Dan, Main Street Plaza, YMCA, Biscuitville, Sandy Creek Park and Park Avenue Bridge.

New landscaping and a series of much-needed repairs will transform the popular Church Office Building plaza in downtown Salt Lake City as crews remove the familiar fountain and replace it with a circle of world flags.
The extensive overhaul, announced Monday by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is part of an ongoing renovation and seismic upgrades to the landmark Salt Lake Temple and other structures and grounds on Temple Square that began in late December 2019.
Officials said the plaza work will replace a concrete deck and circulating water system that feed the fountain, which had leaked for several years and posed a hazard to a parking garage underneath. In addition to waterproofing, the plaza renovations will create new green spaces and gardens, improving access and visibility across the historic square, which draws millions of visitors every year.
