Ellis Park — Attraction in Danville

I am 63, retired nurse, I am black. Myself,my husband and our 10 year old granddaughter drove from the speedway area to see the Christmas lights in the park, as recommended by her teacher. The lights were wonderful and the attendants were very friendly. We even drove through several times. Within a few blocks of exiting the park, I noticed a police car behind us. Absolutely everything about us and our vehicle is in order. I even have a nurse license plate. Even though we did nothing wrong, we noted that the police car followed us almost to Avon. When I changed lanes, so did he. This was nerve-wracking and made me very uncomfortable even though I did nothing wrong. This has weighed on my mind for 2weeks now. While we planned to revisit the lights, I don't want to experience this again. For that reason, we will never be comfortable going back and would share our experience when we can to prevent others who especially look like us what happened. For the nay sayers ( you know who you are) . When I worked on county road 525, at the long term facility, staff that looked like me also had very similar experiences driving to our jobs.

Stop in here and there to play some guitar in a new place. Well, it's new once again bc kts been about 10 years since i would frequent this spot.

The old Amphitheater has been replaced with a nice permanent structure. I have not played in the new structure yet. The old one was fun as I'm sure this one is too! same ground different lid basically. There is an owl that tends to follow me around down there. I would love to think that's the same one from 10 years ago because it sure acts like it..(it's like it remembers me and my songs) when I find my old phone that has pictures of him or her on it I will add them and if I see again in the near future, ill do the same.

I’ve been trying to get out to this park for a while now. I finally made it today, and I’d have to say, it was really nice. It has.water park, walking trails for you and your 4 legged family member to walk on, also really nice hiking trails. And the kids will have a blast on the awesome playground stuff, it’s called “PlayScape.. They also got a really cool cable bridge(??) to walk across to the really nice shelter house to grill out and hang with the fam. Ohhh almost forgot, for the paranormal enthusiast’s, I didn’t forget about you….just north of the PlayScape playground, there is another walking bridge called the White Lick Creek Bridge, kinda creepy haunted backstory. An all around great place for...
