A really lovely, nicely shaded park. It stays nice and cool during the summers, and it’s all enclosed to keep the little ones contained. As a bonus, there’s a super cute stage area too!
The only drawbacks are the street parking and no bathrooms.

Adorable little neighborhood park! SO colorful! This playground likes like it fell outta a bag of Skittles! LOVE IT! The entire park is completely covered by huge shade trees. SO nice! Great little playground and different stuff for young children to play on. My boy had a lotta fun here! Great little playground to bring your young children to!

This is one of the most shaded parks in Durham. It has a nice sized play structure with multiple sized slides and monkey bars. There are swings for big and little kids. There’s a stage area near the back. A bus for kids to play pretend. There are benches and picnic tables. The whole park is fenced in with a woodchuck surface. The only drawbacks are that the parking is street parking in a residential area so it’s limited. There is also not a bathroom so take potty breaks before you go.

One of the last left traditional and fun parks in Durham. Everything else is being made accessible for a small minority of disabled children by replacing entire playground features with flat platforms with knobs and clickers, and short slides. Monkey bars, tall slides, climbing and jumping features are being removed affecting hundreds of thousands of children in surrounding areas. Bicycle paths are being closed off or filled in with wood chips.

This is one of the last good parks left. Durham Parks should add"inclusive" features, rather than removing physically healthy obstacle courses for fully abled kids.

Burch Avenue Park is adorable. It isn't huge, but I think it's meant to be a smaller neighborhood playground. It has a great variety of equipment for the kids and even just some green areas; plenty of benches and picnic tables for seating.

It has lots of shade; but not so much that the sun is blocked.

It's our first time here, but I'm sure they're going to ask to come back again soon!

Btw: no bathrooms. That's my only quip.
