This is a genuinely beautiful park with a well-maintained playground, making it a great spot for families. The walking paths are lined with lovely greenery and there are flat enclosed areas that feel perfect for picnics. I also appreciated the free entry and available grills.

However, a few issues held it back from being ideal. The restrooms, while functional (flushing toilets, thankfully no "dark hole of doom"), had broken lighting, it was a little uncomfortably dark, also not the most clean.

Worse, some inconsiderate visitors left condom wrappers inside near the fire area, which was pretty gross.

The layout also felt a little odd in places some paths weirdly put you right next to someone’s backyard, breaking the park’s atmosphere.

Still, it was a nice walk overall. With better upkeep and more respectful visitors, this could be a real gem.

SUPER MODERN BRAND NEW PLAYGROUND!!! 😮😮👍👍 I have taken my 4-year-old son to 164 different playgrounds in the Greater Raleigh Area (207 playgrounds all total) and I think I’d hafta say this playground was thee most modern/futuristic playground structure I have seen so far! It was super cool the way it was built and all the different playground features and elements that it has to offer for kids! It’s not “your normal” playground for sure, but still super fun for kids to find new and creative ways to play on. Even the bars and poles that their swingsets hang from are modern. I love that this little playground area is nestled back in the middle of a grove of tall trees and is completely shaded. Great Job, Durham, on this AWESOME, SUPER COOL and MODERN-LOOKING CREATIVE PLAYGROUND STRUCTURE! LOVED IT!!! 👍👍

The kids are into baseball all of a sudden, so this park was perfect. The field is in the floodplain so it can stay wet longer, but other than that it's a great park.

The play structures look new and updated. The baseball field was nice too. A bit tricky to find the first time as it is a single road in and out. Very peaceful and quiet with lovely trees around.

Nice little hidden away park with great shade. If you arent looking for it you will drive right past it. Newer equipment and a picnic bench to sit at. Bring your bug spray though!
