Congratulations, !

This weekend, Patch Brewing Company celebrated its 5th anniversary, but they’re giving Town to Trail a reason to celebrate, too!

From now through November, Patch is hosting Top Off for Town to Trail. When you close out your tab, you’ll have the opportunity to round up your purchase and donate the difference to Town to Trail.

Funds raised will support our Connect the Park campaign, helping build the pathways that will connect the new pool, playground, Event Pavilion, and other spaces throughout Gordonsville Park.

Since opening its doors, Patch has been a wonderful supporter of Town to Trail and our greater community. We’re incredibly grateful that they’ve chosen to support this project for three full months.

So stop by Patch, raise a glass to their first five years... and when you close your tab, Top Off for Town to Trail!

Happy 5th Anniversary, Patch! Thank you for continuing to invest in the community we all share.

We’re Better When We’re Together!

Let’s Connect the Park! 🌳🚶‍♀️🚴

The transformation of Gordonsville Park is well underway,and now we're working to build the paths that will bring it all together.

Town to Trail is raising funds for ⅓ mile of new pathways through the park, creating places for walking, running and biking while connecting the spaces our community will enjoy.

And right now, your gift goes twice as far.

-> $25 becomes $50
-> $100 becomes $200
-> $500 becomes $1,000

Thanks to matching grant funds, every dollar Town to Trail raises for the project can be doubled.

We've already seen what can happen when this community comes together. Now we're asking you to help us take the next step.

Make your steps count.. Give today.

Thank you, Louisa County Community Fund, for the grant award of $2,500 to support our Connect the Park campaign! Our Louisa neighbors know, "We're better when we're together!"

Why would the Louisa County Community Fund invest in a park in Orange County? It's because Gordonsville is more than a town - it's a place where people come for recreation, services, and community events. As this area continues to grow, shared public spaces become even more important.

Louisa recognized this and added its support to help fund the walking paths that will connect the playground, event pavilion, event lawn, and other gathering spaces throughout the park - creating a welcoming place for people of all ages to walk, exercise, and connect.

We are grateful to the Louisa County Community Fund for recognizing the regional impact of this project and for investing in a healthier, more connected future.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support this vision! In Gordonsville, Community Matters!

Another Exciting Investment in Gordonsville's Future!

More Good News! Town to Trail received a $5,000 grant from The Bama Works Fund of the Dave Matthews Band at the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation for our project, "Connect the Park – Help Build the Paths that Bring Us Together." This is especially exciting because this year's grant program was highly competitive - over 174 organizations requested more than $1.7 million in funding!

This grant goes towards the walking paths that connect the playground, event pavilion, event lawn, and other gathering spaces throughout Gordonsville Park, creating a place where neighbors can walk, exercise, gather, and enjoy the outdoors together. This project makes our communities more vibrant and connected, and we are grateful that they see the value of investing in Gordonsville's future.

Thank you, Bama Works Fund of the Dave Matthews Band at the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, for believing in our community. We know that in Gordonsville, Community Matters!

GREAT NEWS GORDONSVILLE! Town to Trail is excited to receive a $10,000 Healthy Living Grant from the Culpeper Wellness Foundation to help fund the Connect the Park campaign!

This grant will support the construction of our new walking pathways, improving access throughout the revitalized Gordonsville Park, and creating more opportunities for people of all ages to walk, exercise, gather, and enjoy the outdoors together.

The Culpeper Wellness Foundation awarded $120,050 to just 16 organizations across Culpeper, Madison, and Orange counties that are working to improve health and wellness in their communities. We are grateful to be recognized alongside so many outstanding organizations.

As Foundation President Shari Landry shared:

"It's an honor to help support their efforts to build communities that will be healthier through improved food security, access to recreation, and social support and integration."

We're proud that Gordonsville's park is being recognized, not simply as a revitalization project, but as an investment in our community's health, connection, and quality of life.

Thank you to the Culpeper Wellness Foundation for believing in this vision, and thank you to every volunteer, donor, and supporter who continues to make it possible. We're better when we're together!

We’re so EXCITED!! The first piece of play ground equipment is being installed at the Park this week!

Ten years ago, when a group of friends and neighbors sat down to dream about a transformed park and pool, this day felt impossible. And today it’s happening!!

Your support, commitment and financial donations have been an integral part of the Gordonsville Park transformation. As the pool, playground, and pathways all come together, we’re so proud of the amazing Gordonsville community.

We’re Better When We’re Together!

Enjoy the Fireworks - stay safe (and hydrated!).

Because of the extreme heat, we’re holding off on the 50/50 raffle we had planned. We’ll look forward to holding it later in the summer.

We’re grateful for the Gordonsville Community and the amazing people who work together to improve our parks and public spaces. Community matters in Gordonsville!!
