We started as a group of mountain bikers who just wanted somewhere else to ride. But over the last couple years, we realized Danville needs something bigger. Across the country, trails have become something that begins where your driveway ends, and take you anywhere you wanna go.
That's why we've decided to broaden our reach and share our BIG vision. For a lot of different reasons, we've played our cards pretty close on trail work and advocacy. But now, we want to share with everyone what we see for the future of Danville. That's why we're growing into something bigger: a trail and active transportation advocacy organization with a vision for what Danville could genuinely become.
Because the facts are in: trails aren't just something you drive to anymore. They're infrastructure that changes how a whole city works. They raise property values. They attract businesses and residents. They turn a city people live in, into a city people CHOOSE.
Cities like Bentonville, AR (and MANY other without Walmart money) built trail networks and watched their economies transform. Danville already has more parkland per capita than anywhere else in Illinois. We have the Vermilion River. Kickapoo State Park. Harrison Park. A depth of history and culture unmatched in the area. The bones are here. What's missing is connection — and a community that decides it wants it.
We're hosting a public meeting April 4th to share the full vision and talk about our first active project: The Hills at Harrison Park West. It's already underway. It needs your support. And it's the first chapter of something much larger.
Stay tuned for an event announcement with location and time, and until then, see you out on the trail!
What if Danville's greatest economic asset was already sitting at the edge of your neighborhood — and we just hadn't connected it yet? For a couple years now, a small group of mountain bikers has been quietly building something in Danville. Winning grants. Hauling tools out to Harrison Park West. ...
