Jack Willard Community Park
Three blocks west of the square
Located just steps from the heart of downtown Danville, Jack Willard Community Park is a one-of-a-kind fireman-themed playground designed to spark imaginations and celebrate local history. Named in honor of Danvilleโs first fire chief, the park was built as a tribute to those who protect and serve.
Kids will love climbing the fire truck play structure and exploring fun features that pay homage to our hometown heroes. Whether you’re downtown shopping, dining, or just enjoying a stroll, itโs the perfect stop to let your little ones burn off some energy.
