What parents say
"Very nice park, we visited Jan 2025 so it was dry and no bugs and I’m not sure what it would be like wet in the summer, but in winter it was lovely. There are paved paths and wood paths with bridges, lots to explore. We saw some gnarly trees and some adorable ducks. The parking area is a bit small but it does have trash cans and a picnic area which is nice! We didn’t use the restroom on this trip. I’d return for sure."

"This partlk was absolutely beautiful! It is hard to believe it is in the middle of Durham. There were many trails to walk. Unfortunately there was a good amount of trash. I do not understand people going into nature and then littering. There was plenty of parking and bathroom facilities. The butterfly garden was especially pretty!"

"It’s a beautiful park with a unique wetlands ecosystem. The first part of the trail is pretty well-maintained, but there are certainly some low points for your feet will get muddy. The second half of the nature trail was overgrown with plants, including poison ivy, which caused me bit of grief given I’m pretty allergic. Would definitely love to come here with the kids in winter when we won’t have to worry about poison ivy! Saw some frogs, fish, turtles."
