This proves to be a wonderful stop for catching up with friends while enjoying local cuisine take away. I really liked the aesthetic of the rock landscape with slides built in, almost made me wish my kids had come with. I cant speak to the serenity once COVID has been tamed, but during my visit it was a pleasant mix of calm and activity

Visited beads show. Good convention center.

Beautiful area for farmers market. In age of covid very well orchestrated one way shopping and the park itself is beautiful and ideal for kids with a large playground.

Farmers market, skatepark, playground, great seating. Whats not to enjoy?

A Taste of Soul NC: Ultimate Cookout Experience...Food from some of the best food trucks in the Triangle. The photos show the Naan Chicken Wrap from CockadoodleMoo food truck. It was quite filling and delicious. The fried Brussel Sprouts were also pretty tasty. The Fried Fish, collards and yams were definitely home style from the Lets Eat Home Style food truck.

Kid friendly park within close proximity to good food and activities

A wonderful green space to have picnics. Theres usually free summer music with food trucks. A nice playground across the street for the kids. A wonderful park

Super nice people. I recommend checking out all the booths first for what you need/want to make sure you get the best product and prices. Well organized event.

The farmers market is the greatest place for your family. We play bluegrass there occasionally and the best part is watching the kids sing and dance along.

Great park and skate park, nice to wander on a Saturday morning.

Great place to relax and think

Clean festive and inviting

The people were unbelievably nice! I’ve never enjoyed a pride event so much! I was performing and they treated me like a queen and i loved every minute of it!!!!!

As always I had a wonderful time. Loved the music and food trucks..Empanadas:-)

I love the cool vibe of the farmers market in Durham, the vendors, food trucks & live music all lend themselves to a 60s feel which is when I grew up. Bell bottoms and crop tops, fringe and tie dye are all back in style. I love being able to buy fresh food grown locally.

The Black August In The Park Festival was nothing short of good music, good food and good people. #GoodVibes

A park with no swings! That gets 5 stars from me by itself, but the actual park is really cool - climbing, sliding, exploring, there is a lot to keep your kids active and using energy.

Great gathering place for people in Durham. Cute pollinator garden!

Love the farmer’s market here, fresh fruit fresh vege nice people, there’s a bakery stand ( forgot it’s name), they have the best cinnamon roll, must try!

Cute little community park. Walked through during the hemp market. Nice galleries along the main road.

This is a cool area of Downtown Durham! Lots of events are held here from time to time. If you are visiting the Durham area and want to do something fun be sure to check their website to see what events (food truck rodeos, etc) might be going down during your visit. Concerts are often held here as well. This area is super up and coming and there is alot of great things to do around the DC Park.

Not a lot for smaller children to do, but the area is well kept and has a nice atmosphere.

This is not much of a park. Only a couple of slides, some animals to climb on, and a play hill. My kids were entertained for a while, longer than I thought. There is also a skateboard park at the top of the hill which is cool. Im sure it is a fun place when a concert is going on right across the street at the outdoor venue. There is a big field there by the concert venue. If you are already here for a concert or event, this park is fine. But unless you are a skateboarder, dont make a special trip.

I picked some fresh rosemary and catnip. It is a cute little patk

Great place to hang out and experience Durhams Farmers market, come with food trucks and fantastic people!

Nice location! I love how downtown Durham has changed since I was child! Some change is good change! I enjoyed Black August in the Park and the Farmers Market is always a plus!

Very nice location I was there doing the Seafood festival I highly recommend. The variety of food trucks was in no shortage. It was wonderful!

So many wonderful experiences have been had in this treasured space in the heart of the city of Durham.

A. Nice beautiful park.

Its a wonderful space for the community to come together. I wish there were more movies in the park!

Lovely event Food Truck Rodeo. I really enjoyed and try delicious foods!

Great city park, the farmers market here was excellent.

I loved it!!! I used to go most every Saturday when I lived here in Durham.

Nice little venue in downtown Durham close to the West Morgan parking deck so parking is a breeze. Small open grassy area for seating (bring your own camp chairs) as well as small covered area across the street. Park has a playground with 2 slides and at the top of the hill, a skateboarding park.

We have been to Central Park several times to go to the Farmers Market as well as events there as well. We have never been during the week, but on the weekend there are a couple of large parking lots that are available. There is some construction going on, but its really not bad finding a spot to park.

Great park in the middle of downtown

Good food and music in the park. Todays event needed more activities for children. Parking always an issue.

Love the Farmers Market and Food Trucks. Love the concerts (When theyre free OR reasonably priced). A nice green space and community space in the city.

Not have much stuff for kids

Great area

If you have kids of different ages its nice because there is a slate park next to a playground.

We went when it was completely empty aside from a few teens skating around, because of that, the park felt very small and lonely, with not much to do. They did have some cool features like the block building section and a tiny playground. Hopefully I can come back when there is something going on and experience what everyone experiences here.

Always family and pet friendly... Never have a reason to complain.

Friday night concerts are fresh and lively

Walked downtown, so nice and beautiful!!!!

Went to the Food Truck Rodeo. It was awesome!

Awesome upgrade to the town. Ive been enjoying the fresh herbs for years in my dishes. Also collected some catnip for my daughters kittys. Thanks Durham.

Food truck rodeo was great and the location is perfect.

Great park with awesome events. Solid neighborhood for coffee and relaxing

Fun little park with a great community vibe. We love all the community events (like the weekly farmers market, food truck rodeos, etc) and has a decent play ground for kids to have fun while adults hang out.

Went for the bull durham movie night in the park. Its cute for a free date night. They had a vendor truck that sold concession foods. Loved the atmosphere. I would definitely like to revisit and see what else is offered at durham central park on other days.

Centrally located. Close parking. Plenty of resturants near by.

Had a wonderful day at the park for my first time at Durham Central park and the children had a great time also seriously

Great place to appreciate the city and nature all at the same time!

The Food Truck Rodeo was amazing!

The food truck festival was nice!

Farmers market Saturday mornings year round, Wednesday afternoons in the summer. Lots of events, kids camps, and group workouts. Great space with a lot to offer and plenty to do in the neighborhood.

Central Park is only getting better and better is Durham gets larger and larger. On the weekends the combination of the farmers market and art market give the entire place a kind of festival feel. There are plenty things to do, see, eat & drink. we went at 9 in the morning and there were only two or three spaces available in the parking lot next to the measurement building.

If you are visiting Durham for the first time, come check out the Durham Central Park. Within walking distance of Bull Plaza in Downtown and local breweries like Fullsteam and Durty Bull Brewing. Every Saturday the Durham Farmers Market takes over the park with local produce, crafts, and good people. We have met many dog owner friends there and we will continue to welcome more.

Went for the Friday night music. Was a great atmosphere and had good food trucks that even had vegan options. Would definitely go again and would definitely reccomend.

I enjoyed being out on such a beautiful day . It was a blessed experience just to be able to see all the people laughing and enjoying life in Gods glory .

So many fun events downtown. Kids love the playground. We especially enjoy the farmers market!

Really small and they have metal slides that get really hot in the heat. They do a great Easter Egg hunt in the area which is why I gave them 3 stars.

Great food and drinks. A good time.

Best place to take lunch go for a walk and just see some of the things stores and places you get to see on bigger cities right in Durham

Very beautiful

Nice metal slides for kids (and grandparents)

DCP is so well run ... hosting everything from farmers markets to music to yoga ... all while construction buzzes around it. Thank you for all you do and such a highly functional space!

Food truck rodeo was great, so many different types of foods to choose from. Beer tents. There was a bounce house for the kids that my daughter really enjoyed. It was pet friendly and everyones dog seemed well behaved.

Durham Central Park is a quiet lovely Oasis in downtown Durham. On Saturday mornings and Wednesday afternoons there is a large Farmers market that includes crafts like pottery, hand turned beautiful wooden bowls and of course unique jewelry. There is a buffalo meat vendor and a seafood vendor. Fresh locally grown vegetable stands are sprinkled throughout the pavilion. That doesnt begin to describe all the home grown, homemade offerings of the market.At other times there is music on Friday nights spring and summer, yoga classes and many other events. There is a large covered pavilion with restrooms too. Its a great place to go even if just for a stroll in the hillside garden.

The farmers market, while small and intimate, offers a variety of foods and crafts among a swirling dervish of locals enjoying the day.

Visited this area as a volunteer for the Pints for Paws event. It was very clean and well organized for the event. I will make a special effort to come back to visit the weekend Farmers Market activites.

Attended the Durham Food Truck Rodeo. Had a lot of fun. There was plenty of good food and drinks.

Loved it here, please mor events!

Nice sheltered area with different things for the little ones to do.

Love the way the community has events here!

Seemed like a nice place. Enjoyed the event we attended.

I went here for the food truck rodeo. Good food and nice band, what more can you ask for?

They have a lot of great events. There is a skate park and some very short trails to walk. Its a nice, quiant experience.

Farmers market has some interesting stuff

Durham Central Park is a great place to visit as a family, date night, girls night out etc. There is a park 4 the kids to play, a creative wall, food trucks & concerts for all to enjoy!

Great place to gather for outdoor concerts. Great vibe and in the heart of downtown

Great place for events. Great place to hear music ..

Nice shaded area for vendors and guests. Occurs multiple blocks, and had a very short, fun off-road trail!

Delightful environment, sunny and nice with enough buffer of open grass to seem like maybe your not quite in the middle of a city. the pixel wall is super cute and fun and the skate park is fun to watch and non-interupetive in my experience.

Attended Blues and Brews at Central Park and it was very entertaining. Good food trucks, good craft beer, and great entertainment.

It is beautiful there. It reminded me of home. Trees are amazing very cool. Enjoyed the company I had with me. My sweet girlfriend

Was over here for a food truck meet, and all the heavy hitters were there including Maines cousin lobster and loco pops. They also have a pretty clean restroom for a park, so of youre driving by its a fine place to stop for a leak.

Loved it. Nice event. Lots of good food from the food trucks.

Nice little park in fun neighborhood. Climbing and small skatepark for beginners. Not much room for running around, but nice for a short stroll.

Really beautiful place and great place to take the dogs and kids

Nice spot for local events but do wish there were more trees and plants here

Nice small park in central durham. There can be some rude characters sometimes but overall enjoyable park.

It was a beautiful day at Durham Central Park! The sun was shining and the non profit group Sleep in Heavenly Peace was making bunk beds for needy kids! It was an awesome day!

The Rock Park / a concert and movie series: All events are Free!!! Great Food Vendors

Nice place to hang around, especially, Sundays where they have the entire street filled with food carts. The options are limited, though.

Great venue. Always enjoy going to the farmers market, in the various events that are there. Easy to Uber into an Uber out of.

A variety of goods sold there, great atmosphere!

Super clean, super green, 10/10 would recommend.

First Iron Pour/Date night! Cant wait until the next!
