East Durham Park

Nice little park with a really cool playground area! It isn’t very high like some are, having a second story, or even a third level, but, this one is spread out. There are dozens of different things to climb on or hang from. A lot! There’s a picnic shelter there but no bathroom building. This is one of those playgrounds that’s kinda set up like an obstacle course, with all kinds of different challenges connected to each other… Great little park for active kids!

This is a relatively nice sized play structure. On the 5-12 age play structure there’s only one small slide. The rest of the structure is mostly upper body. There are two different types of monkey bars, some rope courses, and various other climbing structures. The 2-5 age play structure has 3 slides and a steering wheel on it. There are 4 big kid swings and 1 little kid swing with room for another. The flooring under the bigger structure has some bounce and the rest is mostly wood chucks. There are benches, two picnic tables and a picnic shelter with seating under it. There’s also a small open grass area. There is no restroom and parking is on the street which is limited. There was also a good bit of trash from people just not picking up after themselves.

Me and my two kids had a wonderful time. It seems to be me and maintain a clean environment and safe for kids to play it. The equipment is well taken care of. There is a variety of things for children to play on so they can have fun and burn off some energy.

Park is closed due to the soil being contaminated by lead.

My grandson loves this park. He gets to climb and slide to his hearts content. The park itself is always well kept and clean.I like that police officers come and engage with the kids. We feel really safe.
