Forest Hills Park
Park
👍 It's a nice ooen and spacious park. There's a big field, a pool, and tennis court. Just be careful with the slides. There's one that has a bolt messing (the slide facing the woods, see pic below).
This may be my kids favorite park. And no, that bolt has not been fixed yet 🤨

We saw birds, frogs, butterflies, and bird-watchers along the way. (P...

Duke Park Playground
Playground
👍 One of the biggest in Durham. Multiple slides and climbing areas. Knocked off one star because the age requires repairs which have not happened (as of Feb 2023.) Some of the wood needs replacing, with potential for big splinters in little fingers.
