Christopher Kent Paschal Memorial Dog Park
Conveniently located along the H.L. Bonham Trail and behind the ARCO Gas Station, the dog park provides a safe, off-leash recreation area for locals and travelers alike.
The park officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 8, 2024, celebrating another exciting addition to Chilhowie’s growing outdoor recreation opportunities. Earlier this year, on May 15, 2026, the park was rededicated as the Christopher Kent Paschal Memorial Dog Park, honoring Corporal Christopher Kent Paschal and his K9 Ben and their lasting legacy within the community.

Veterans Day Banners
The Town of Chilhowie is proud to offer a meaningful way for residents to recognize and celebrate the brave men and women who have served our country. Through the Veterans Day Banner Program, community members can sponsor a personalized banner honoring a veteran, which will be displayed throughout town in observance of Veterans Day.
The Veterans Day Banner Program is designed to provide a lasting keepsake for families while supporting the annual display.
At the conclusion of the display period, banners will be returned to the customer. Families may choose to have the banner rehung in subsequent years for the annual rehanging fee.
