After school programs are available at two sites: Forest Hills and Coates Recreation Center. Transportation is provided from Schoolfield, Park Avenue, and Woodberry. Ages 5-12. Call (434) 799-5150.

Many of Danville’s community members become caregivers to their spouse or loved one, often these caregivers provide round the clock care for them. The tasks they perform daily can be stressful physically and emotionally; many caregivers will/or have experienced burnout and compassion fatigue. Please join us in showing our support and gratitude to our local caregivers. Ballou Recreation Center would like to recognize our community’s caregivers for their unconditional support for those under their care. Ballou Recreation’s first National Caregivers Day event will feature a catered lunch by Golden Leaf Bistro, guest speakers, door prizes, activities, and more.
