DOG PARK COMMUNITY WALK SCHEDULED FOR SAT, SEPT 13TH!
WHEN is it opening? WHERE is the Dog Park? HOW can I help? We’ve heard all these questions, no doubt to the great buzz created by our aww-so-cute logo! By enlisting the help of some very awesome volunteers, we’ve done some branding, hosted some
events, created a site plan that enabled us to develop a professional cost estimate, obtained local permitting, get an LVRT access from VTrans, support grant applications, and design an eye-catching sponsorship program for local businesses. We are now at the “all-hands-on-deck” phase: Putting the money and in-kind labor together for a 2026 construction start. While we have and will continue to apply for grant funds, the grant funding landscape has changed, putting a greater emphasis on community support through business sponsorships and in kind labor. For those of you who are still unfamiliar with the Danville Dog Park, the site is located on town owned land, upslope of the Town’s wastewater treatment plan. Access will be from the LVRT, just a short
walk from the trail parking across the street from Marty’s. As is recommended for all safe dog parks, there will be a double-gated entry that will lead to two separate enclosures. One enclosure will be for smaller (or more timid dogs). The main enclosure will have a pavilion and water line. A commercial grade fence will separate all visitors (human and canine) from the wastewater lagoons. Service equipment, like mowers, will access from the treatment plant side, so we’ll need a small service path that will not wash or degrade in heavy rains. Still can’t visualize the park? Come for a guided tour on Sat, Sep 13th at 10:00am. Get your recycling done early, put on some comfortable walking shoes and meet us at the Route 2 LVRT access! Although it sounds counter-intuitive, please leave your dog at

Danville Train Station LVRT Trailhead Open house (click for details)
DANVILLE TRAIN STATION LVRT
TRAILHEAD OPEN HOUSE SEPT 18
The Town of Danville and the Train Station Committee is hosting an open house of the newly renovated station on
Thurs, Sept 18th, 2025, from 4-6 pm at the train station at 347 Peacham Road in Danville. Tours, speakers, and food
for purchase mark this celebratory event. The Train Station as a trail head will have parking, ADA bathrooms, water refill station, and informational kiosks. The passenger side of the Train Station will house exhibit space maintained by the Danville Historical Society. The freight side will have bike rentals, food, and eventually a gear shop. With all these amenities, the Danville Train Station will be a “must stop” for LVRT users. The project to reimagine the historic train station began almost seven years ago as part of a larger master plan in the town. The Train Station is owned by the Town of Danville. “The Danville Selectboard members are excited for the opening of the newly refurbished train station.” Said Janice Ouellette, Chair of the Danville Selectboard. “The road from reimagining the historic depot to completion has been long and not without a few bumps. It would not have been possible without the dedicated volunteers who have logged countless hours to make the project a reality.” Michael Hogue, Train Station Coordinator agrees, “the completed renovation is the result of a lot of hard work by a handful of dedicated people. The open house is a chance to thank the many donors, grantors, contractors, and volunteers for their work, and invite the community in to celebrate the official opening.”
