I had my first Pickleball experience at this park last week! The pickle ball courts are amazing! What a fun game! It’s a beautiful park with the Pickleball courts nestled in the trees. The soccer field is also very nice! I went in the mid afternoon timeframe and there was plenty of parking.
I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Durham! -
My dogs and kids love this place! They had large areas for them to run and play. And the other dogs played very well. My kids enjoyed bringing the fur kids to Piney Wood dog park!

Nice little playground in the middle of the woods. Had to look around for a few minutes before I was even able to FIND it, LoL. It was around 30° but my little guy still had fun on this playground. Very modern equipment and LOTS of variety of ways to climb and play on things. Has a twisty slide, spiderweb rope climbing, abs a curved mountain rock-climbing wall. Of course there’s a small kids playground too for the one-year-olds. Great park! There is also a fenced in dog park here as well!

Nice quiet park. There's an area for large dogs and an area for small dogs. The day i went there was a lot of dogs there and my dog had a blast. There's also a playground for kids that is closer to the smaller dog area.

Pickleball at Piney Wood Park is deficient. Most communities have open play all the time which facilitates relationships across the community as people meet each other and play with strangers. If you got to Ephesus Park for pickleball you will find a community of hundreds of people who met this way. At Piney people come in groups of 4 and leave without meeting new people. I emailed the Mayor about this lost opportunity in the community but he did not even reply unfortunately. Piney has 12 courts so they could even just reserve 4-6 courts for open play and leave the others for reserved activities. Despite dozens of people in the community suggesting this best practice developed all over the country, the Parks and Rec and mayor ignore this.
