Durham, NC 27701

Duke Park, located in the heart of the Duke Park neighborhood in Durham, NC, offers a vast greenspace named after Brodie Duke, the original landowner. Established in 1910, the park features a mix of vintage and modern play structures, including a large adventure course with a two-story slide.

Families frequent the park for its expansive and hilly terrain, as well as the variety of play options for children of all ages. While the main play area lacks shade, early mornings are recommended during the summer months to avoid crowds and hot slides.
