Well kept park that has ample parking and space for activities! The front field is a popular spot for soccer and exercising outside. The basketball court is clean and easily accessible. To add to everything this park has there is even a wonderful nature trail that goes through the park!

Interesting playground that is a little tricky to maneuver to. If you follow Googles directions and enter the playground by way of the park entrance and soccer fields, it can be hard to figure out exactly where the playground is.If you are coming with toddlers or smaller kids, bring trikes or a wagon to help them on their way. Its a bit of a hike from the parking lot to the playground (and if your kid/s need to use the restroom while playing, its that same hike back to the parking lot).But, once at the playground, its a pretty neat space. This playground is outfitted with equipment from KOMPAN, a company that makes excellent climbing and free play equipment. You wont find a lot of very traditional playground pieces on a KOMPAN playground, but you will find a lot of fun.This playground does not offer a lot of share, so come prepared for sun between May and September.There are a couple pieces of equipment that are toddler friendly, but this is mostly a five and up playground.

Parking can be a bit tight when the park is crowded, but it is a nice place; especially for soccer.

Theres fun things to climb on and do even for older kids. Near Githens middle school. Short walk through a forest from Githens parking lot (ok path but sometimes has some mud) I like to go on the rope climbing area.

Dont be deterred by the lack of a visable playground when you get to the parking lot. Park and follow the trail at the top of the round about. Not a 1/4 mile away is one of the most fun parks in the area. Super cool playground that is fun for kids and adults alike.

I go to this park occasionally for my adult soccer league. The turf field is not the best and theres not much protection from keeping the ball on the field. However, theres good parking and if you need to play somewhere this is a good spot. Theres also a b-ball court which looks in decent shape.

The park is one of the best features that Durham has to offer. Daily there are people there playing basketball and soccer. Additionally there are always Runners and Walkers and Families playing.

The trail was closed but I didnt know that when I took it. Was in bad shape. Hope it gets reopened soon. Saw a guy selling drugs from his car while I was there.

A good little park to do some athletics. It can be a bit bright, though.

This park has a fantastic playground. You should know, though, that the geography is... complicated. The parking lot is behind Sherwood Githens, with a driveway off Fearrington. The actual playground, though, is 1/5 of a mile down a paved path, right on the edge of Old Chapel Hill Rd. A fifth of a mile--1,200 feet--is nothing for a jogger, but to anyone with small children its an odyssey. (Pack water. Pack food. Hire a sherpa. And maybe a camel. Leave your affairs in order.) Oh, did I mention the restrooms are back at the parking lot? (Daddy, I need to go potty! Then... heaven help us all, my daughter. Heaven help us all.) It would make much more sense to park in the lot of the Methodist church across Old Chapel Hill, but Im not sure how they feel about this, and its a very busy street to cross with young ones. ON THE OTHER HAND, once they get to biking age, this makes for a great (if actually rather short) bike trail with a rewarding playground at the end.

Exactly what it says it is. Soccer field is open year round but has been repaired poorly in places. There are raised metal plates covered in turf in several places that hurt if you land on them.
