Any playground without a bathroom is a flawed playground, but otherwise nice.

Its great for playing tennis, baseball or basketball, you can do anything there.

Super cute park. It seems like it would really add a lot to the neighborhood for any young family. The sidewalks are a tad small and could use more keeping after as there were toys left unattended. Also wish there was more recreational areas for adults, but no park is perfect.

Great playground to come and explore. All the expected playground equipment, as well as some good climbing structures. Lots of donated bikes and trikes are just hanging around for anyone to use which is always cool. The entire playground is bordered by a sidewalk, perfect for caregivers to stroll around or for little ones to ride along. Some trees offer partial shade. Street parking that is shared by residents, so it may get cramped on the weekends or in evenings. Not a city park, so no restrooms, but there are water fountains.

Great family park for all ages is kids. Very large grass area to run around. Paved path for walking or bikes loops entire park, but fully visible at all times. Great playground for very young and older kids. Also, lots of donated little vehicles and today. We love this park!

Very nice sized park. My kids loved it. I like that it has a variety of activities for different age groups and a ton of bikes and tricycles, trucks and things for kids to play with. I was raised in both England and Brooklyn, so this park reminded me of my outdoor play in London. The other parents werent very friendly and everyone seemed to be in cliques and very familiar with each other, but that wouldnt stop me from going again. I was too busy watching my Irish twins to immerse in conversation anyway.

Nice little neighborhood park. You will typically see families with their kids there. The overall area of the park is very small so it is not great for running a dog, but is great for being able to watch your kids play as no part of the park is out of eye sight. Many folks seem to leave their childrens toys there permanently. This gives the place a very creepy vibe at night. Overall it is a nice little space for families in the area but if youre going to drive to a park, pick another location.

Such a great park. People bring toys and leave them to share. Playground for littles, grassy field for bigs, paved loop for riding bikes and scooters. Only drawback is needs a bathroom!

Incredibly family friendly park in welcoming neighborhood. Typical park hours (Dawn to Dusk). Has ampitheatre area, basketball hoop, tennis courts, and picnic shelter. The main draw is the playground. The other amenities are average.

Review №31

This place is great for kids and in such a lovely neighborhood. There are even a bunch of extra kids toys to play with a ride on all around the park. I dont think there is a wheelchair entrance and thats the only drawback.

Our go-to park in Durham. As the name suggests it is oval and theres a nice flat path that goes around the park, perfect for scootering. It also has your standard swings and slide and climbing stuff. The downside is that it is a dumping ground for broken riding toys. A few work but most should go to recycling or landfill.

One of the best parks in Durham. They have a great playground and a plethora of small riding toys, plastic playsets, and other toys that seem to have been abandoned there. Many of them are quite defunct, but kids dont seem to mind.
