Used to be 5 stars, but most areas are inaccessible due to unsafe soil. If you are ok just staying on the pavement and walking around, it's still enjoyable.

I hope the city of Durham finds a way to remove the affected soil and restore Northgate to its fully open status.

Cool Playground for kids! Very modern playground equipment! Different ways of climbing on stuff compared to a “normal” playground. Lots of rope features to climb on, kinda layed out somewhere “obstacle course-like.” Most of the playground is not really made for ages 2.5 and under but, they have also a secondary playground at the park for the wee little tykes. This park has tons of open empty grassy area, a creek/stream that runs through the middle of the grounds, and a cool bridge that crosses over top of it. This park has HUGE trees in it too!

Nice little retreat tucked away in North Durham. The waters of Ellerbe Creek are crystal clear with fish visible swimming just below the surface. Very large, stately Loblolly Pines and Southern Red Oaks line the trails and provide shade.

I love that park. It's so nice and the people you meet are very friendly. Just watch out for dog poop. Because a lot of people bring their dogs and not often but it does happen, the owners do not get up the poop. There is also a dog park across the street as well..so it's a park that is for everyone.
