live Well and prosper…The winter season is a season of joy and celebrations . It is the time of year when we reflect on the previous year and look forward to what the New Year may bring . As we celebrate, reflect and look forward this winter, I would like to encourage you also to live well .

What does “live well” mean? In the world of recreation “live well” means taking the opportunity to promote our own health and wellness . This can be done by getting your body moving by joining one of our fitness classes, sports leagues or by stretching your mind as you learn a foreign language or how to play the guitar . Taking care of our body, mind and soul through recreation allows for a life well lived .

Empower yourself to live well and find that perfect opportunity right here in Danville as we promote health and wellness through our programs . I invite you to explore all the activities, events and performances highlighted in the Activity Guide that will help you to live well and prosper!

The program and facility fees cover a large portion of the actual costs, though Town of Danville residents also partially support the classes, events and facilities through their property tax assessments. Because of this, those program participants and individuals reserving Town facilities who live outside of Danville pay an additional non-resident charge. If you have any questions about this information, call 314-3400.

Special Notice to Alamo Residents living in the Alamo County Service Area R-7A: all R-7A residents are eligible to register for Town-sponsored programs scheduled at Hap Magee Ranch Park during the resident registration period. Non-resident fees still apply for these classes and activities. Call 314-3400 for more information.
