Nice place to walk and for kids to run around. A little muddy and not well lit

Beautiful park on a dead end street in a lovely neighborhood! Huge trees- restrooms- swings and slides for the kids in a separate area. Grills and benches. Covered picnic area with benches and roof toward the back of the park. Very nice!

Rockwood is definitely one of the hidden gems of Durham. It's a nice well kept small loop trail with a playground, a few places for a picnic, and a basketball court.

Tucked away, quiet, has a playground and a shelter. Nice space, but grass is sparse in some areas, so it is very muddy post-rain. The parking lot is small, so not ideal for large gatherings. Great for families and pets.

A nice little community park with a short trail and playground. (Trail does often getting standing water on it after it rains, just as an FYI.)

Best playground for hot summer days. Large canopy of trees provide lots of shade. Also a nice paved path circles the playground for scooters and bikes. Bathroom available but it is a little rustic. No stall in men's room

Nice, peaceful playground with lots of shade. This park is beautiful and very well kept up. Only drawbacks are that the restroom leaves something to be desired and there is limited parking (although I haven't typically found this to be a problem.)

Not a big park but nice enough. A small playground, a picnic shelter, a few other picnic tables, and a small walking path through the park.
