Make your way to Durham Central Park, a five-acre green space overflowing with public art. Numerous murals dot the park and neighboring blocks, including a large magnolia mural, a mural of civil and human rights champion Pauli Murray, and a mural depicting the history of Durham using a tribal art style from India. Durham Central Park is the backdrop for a weekly farmers’ markets, concerts, movies, food truck rodeos, weddings, events, and more. Stroll by the nearby food, drink, and retail options, relax under the pavilion, or take a seat on one of the benches or structures designed by local artists.

Food trucks were super busy. Great atmosphere. All event goers were having a great time. Adults and children. It was nice to see a community come together and have fun without incident. Looking forward to attending more events.

I love the park! It’s a really great area with a bunch of shops around. I always have fun watching the skaters, siting the various shaded areas, or going to the farmers market.
