Durham Recreation & Park District

We've used the picnic areas of Durham Park for family events a couple of times. It's great to have a covered area with a lot of tables for use. Although the covered area can be reserved, so check ahead before you plan. We found a single table by some tall trees that provided some shade which was nice on a hot day. The playground equipment needs to be updated for safety as far as small children go. There were no steps for adults to use in order to accompany a small child & the slide was too tall for a toddler to use. The park itself is nicely maintained, however, the bathrooms could use some updating as well. Everything seems pretty old & worn out. Hopefully, the parks & rec there will get some funding for needed improvements. The main concern is the playground equipment. I would recommend this park as far as there being plenty of nice space for large groups to gather.

Love this venerable park!!! Ample eating areas for large groups or small check in with Durham Recreation to reserve. Updated kids area for toddlers to bigger kids!

We came when it was completely empty. Looks nice and clean tons of places to sit. Playground is fenced in 3 quarters of the way. Feels nice and safe. Completely shaded, so really nice and cool.

Great lil park and well taken care of. Would give it 5 stars if the restrooms were in better shape. Overall great park!

Lots of shade,went there for car car show, good turnout maybe 200 classic cars.

It's pretty. And they have clean restrooms.

Fairly large community park with clean public bathrooms. Has recreational areas along with a nice nature focused atmosphere which makes coming here quite enjoyable and relaxing.

Clean and safe. Well trimmed. No homeless. Great park.

Great place to have family quality time
