D.D. Memorial Park is a great place to visit. The Memorial site is a great tribute to vets and covers all of America's past wars. The wall and bricks along the walkway are just like the DC and New Orleans sites.. There is Picnic areas playground and baseball field as well. It is very professionally done and maintained. The park is a great tribute to the former congressman who represented Danville and the district in the good old days of bi-partisan politics. Great job City of Danville in representing Vets and a well loved politician. Keep up the good work! If you're traveling thru Danville don't miss it as it's right off the 58E bypass.

Beautiful, family-friendly park with amazing trails, open spaces, and picnic areas. Perfect for walking, biking, or just relaxing outdoors!

Yes I highly recommend Dan Daniels memorial Park the number one reason is because my wife and I have a great grandbaby and we like to use shelter number 17 cuz it's very close to the restrooms and it's kind of hard for both of us to walk long distances. And it is only $50 a day and if you clean up like a normal human being you get your $50 back you can't beat that in the park has a baseball stadium a skateboard and it has a whole playground for children it has a walk around for people that likes to walk a lot if you have never been I suggest you come on down 😁 we love EVERYONE heck our STATE SIGN SAYS "VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS"

It's a beautiful, scenic park with a very nice riverwalk path. The park is well-maintained, although it seems warmer weather is bringing out the litterbugs as well as other insects. Birding is great here, with benches all along the riverwalk to sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of warblers and others flitting through the trees. I haven't really had time to explore the more wooded areas but overall, this is a wonderful park!

Nice playground for the kids to play with obstacles, swings and rock climbing. The restrooms were open for weekday but little dirty and no hand soap. Plenty of parking space and many other amenities from skating area to fields. Did a nice walk around the fields with my baby on stroller. It was a great find to stretch ourselves and kids to enjoy the playground.
