Went to an event here. Smaller park with covered causeway, good for an event maybe but not a lot of nature otherwise. Large parking lot right next to the location. Bathrooms were good. Nice tap house, brew pub located next day if you run out of beverages...

Beautiful Saturday morning with lots of vendors. The hard part is finding parking downtown Durham so you don’t have to walk 100 miles with all of those bags.

My husband surprised me with a food truck rodeo that was going on today. I love the covered area where food trucks were parked today. There is a playground and plenty of trees to sit under in the shade.

Beautiful park. There's lots of green to see and experience around here. Spread out sections of park connect by Greenway and you could explore all day and still not see it all.

Great place and something to do for everyone. Plenty of activities for kids, a skate park and walking paths through natural plant. Shops and food are easily accessible plus not far from downtown. Handicap accessible

It was a terrific summer open-air music and food truck festival. Bring some blankets or lawn chairs if you plan to attend. There were several wonderful dining alternatives. If you'd like, you could even pack your own picnic. Even though it can be difficult, finding good parking is not impossible. In the summer, I believe these activities take place on the first Friday evening of each month. We enjoyed ourselves with friends and relatives. Except for the food and beverages we bought, the event was free.

With the area keep growing, the noises are even worse. It was good to see people out skateboarding and kids playing at the playground. There was a band that was practicing. This was the loudest part of the noise for that night. The kids had fun and got some of their energy out before heading back to Oxford. Was able to play some Pokémon go for a little bit, 😆.

Common Roots, Asian Heritage festival. Very well thought out festival. There were games to engage all attendees to get in touch with their heritage. By completing the activities, you get a reward of either a Booba tea or a Samosa. Performances were interactive too.

Came for Mardi gras recently, nice setting. Live music and the locals seemed really willing to get into Mardi gras and dress up. Lots of little kids activities too. The glass jug beer lab put a tent out and sold drinks from there as well as their brick and mortar nearby. Cool spot.

I went to the Black Vegan Market here, this was an event for everyone. There were vendors, food trucks, food vendors, yoga, and a live band. I really enjoyed myself and most of the food was delicious. I would definitely go back.

The EWF Tribute was Amazing!!! The band had everyone on their feet the entire time! Hits like fantasy, let’s groove and September had the place rocking! The venue was nice clean and spacious enough for everyone to enjoy themselves! I’ll be back for sure.
