Osage Station Park — Attraction in Danville

My favorite neighborhood park! It's not as close to my home as some others, but our dog enjoys the walk around the track, with all the opportunities to see (and sniff!) new ppl and dogs! Personally I prefer this park in the warmer weather of spring and summer, when the roses bloom riotously and the kids fill the air with happy sounds, from the playground as well as from the (3) baseball diamonds, but fall is nearly as nice, with many soccer games and always plenty of kids in the playground or running around the track. Be aware that despite signs to the contrary, dogs and dog groups here often let their dogs go off-leash, so you need to be able to control your dog(s) and small child(ren), for their own safety. Park is populated sunrise to sunset with reasonably friendly tennis and pickleball players; soccer or baseball/softball teams; the occasional youth martial arts class; and folks walking/running around the track for fitness. August - June the track is used for P.E. classes by the adjacent middle school, but before 8 a.m. or after 3 p.m. this doesn't apply, and even with school in session, the track is wide enough to accommodate jogging students alongside private individuals. Occasional birthday (& other) parties reserve the picnic tables for private use; it's also a lovely place to take photos, boasting a splendid rose garden at one end and planters full of roses, around the entire perimeter. Playground with climbing features, slides, & swings is a pleasant place for parents to bring their younger kids for playtime, any...

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this park. Playground for both older and younger kids is amazing. Bucket swings for infants / toddlers and regular swings for bigger kids. Full jungle gym type play structures dressed up as the Wild West. Super fun for kids. Padded ground with lots of shade from surrounding woods. Sounds come out if the play structures when you hit a button. A full section of updated picnic tables and more private ones scattered throughout the forests area as well. Wheelchair accessible washrooms. Great parking lots with lots of spaces available. A lot of folks had picnic blankets and were lounging near playground while kids played. Recommend bringing a blanket and packed lunch for everyone when you visit. Great...

Absolutely lovely neighborhood park with athletic ball fields and support facilities, tennis and pickle ball courts but also a circular pathway, children’s play equipment and a picnic area with a large number of very nice tables. The entire facility seemed extremely well maintained and tended to and there were accessible restroom facilities. The most unexpected feature was the extensive and lovely rose collection in numerous gardens throughout the totality of the park. Many of the roses were labeled for identification with memorial placards or dedications. This park is a real attribute of this community and worth a trip...
