This park feels a bit out of the blue, but the walking paths are nice and the covered tennis court and basketball court are awesome. I dont know if I have seem anything similar at another park anywhere. Definitely rare amenities.

Interesting underutilized park. Lots of potential hope it gets more funding and upgrades. Great place to put a dog park

I would give 5 stars but the disc golf course is tight, wooded and its a short course. The rec center looks nice and kept up, it has a basketball ball court and a tennis court both covered. The climbing towers are off limits to non members, which sucks cause they look fun. All in all its a nice facility.

Nice short disc golf course through the woods. Also have some covered basketball and tennis courts to use during any weather. Great park with a cool walking trail in the woods as well.

1 covered basketball court, 2 covered tennis courts playground and other amenities. 18 hole disc golf course is fun but not well maintained. 1 hole is usually very muddy and anothers tee box is missing.

Cute lil park - it has a disc golf course thats not very well maintained. A lot of construction going on but it has a small path for walking. Watch for snakes - theres at least one copperhead out there. Its a bit of a wild forest

The park is nice and has a disc golf course which was the main reason we visited it. It’s not ideal to visit when the weather is very muggy and humid because the bugs are too much to deal with.

Good quality 2 tennis courts covered under a metal roof with lights that turn on at a certain time. But note, courts are reserved for pickle ball in the afternoon.

Great course at a quiet park area in a neighborhood. Short and wooded, it’s excellent for honing that driving putter and midrange game. Not much signage and mostly natural tees but it’s fairly broken in so not too hard to find the next tee.

Well maintained tennis courts times two, covered and lit until 9:30 at night. Same with basketball courts. Short 18 hole disc golf course is very good, but can be a little difficult to follow hole 11. Kudos to Durham parks and rec for this one

Frisbee golf course is in rough shape and can be difficult to find the tee boxes. Otherwise, the covered tennis/basketball courts are amazing!

Its a very nice quiet Park You can hear the children. Or inner children playing basketball and tennis no loud music no profanity. Its just a wonderful place to go for a walk or to take your children to play.

The sign for basket #1 was knocked down (We found it in the weeds and put it back up) and a lot of the course markings have been removed and/or vandalized. The second picture is where you go for the tee box on basket #2.Overall, great beginner course with mild difficulty. Would recommend other courses prior to this course, but it has potential.

We went for a Birthday party and they have a High Ropes course that ends with a zip line. The DPR staff was caring and very helpful to ensure that everyone was safe. They allowed the party organizers to bring tents and chairs and it was nice. Definitely one of DPRs best kept secrets!

Im just rating it based on the disc golf course. Challenging to play but not necessarily in a good way. It was tough to find some tee boxes, compared with the 2 other courses Ive played on the triangle. Holes were short on average.

Review №22

Very nice little park. Horrible for disc golf. Could be a fun course, but the makings are terrible. Difficult to find next hole. Felt like I was just wandering through the woods until I happened on a tee box. Which ter box? No idea. Which direction is catcher? No idea

Im tempted to give a bad review so everyone else will stay away!!! So great. The kids will love the rock climbing feature. Trails are nice but its a bit swampy in there, bring some bug spray.

Nice but short trails with a paved path for childrens bikes, basketball court, fun but small playground, easily accessible bathrooms & water fountains, great frisbee golf course. Unfortunately they are doing some construction behind the path that detracts a little bit from the peace of being out in nature. Overall a really nice neighborhood park though.

Nice range of facilities and not many people. But there is a lot of litter on the ground. Played disc golf there and the course is challenging for its size. Bring a putter, couple midranges and a fairway driver. Didnt see any water fountains.

Review №31

The park is nice in that it offers so many things to do. From a basketball court to tennis, to a jogging/walking trail. To a playground, frisbee golf course and then one of those zipline obstacle courses. Its also pet friendly and I feel a dog park would be a welcomed addition if they added it. Also, I wish there were additional trails but it appears space is limited and you cant get much closer to the train tracks.

Park offers covered basketball courts that are in heavy use as well as covered tennis courts but my favorite attraction is the disc golf course which plays through the woods and walking trails. Its a short tight course with a mix of left and right hand favorable holes. Two novel baskets include the first even with the ground and the twelfth hole that plays to a hanging basket just shy of a creek. Fun course though it can be a bit muddy.

We spent an hour or so here eating lunch (Cook Out take out is nearby) here with the family and kids. The park is nice has a small playground but other great amenities. We didn’t do much other than chase kids around the playground and eat, but we were pretty impressed at the features this park has. Trash was pretty full, but it was a holiday weekend. The park was not busy, but it was really chilly outside when we were there. Great get out of the house activity!

We played the disc golf course, and it was great! Its an amazingly well-marked and well-maintained course. There are enough trees to thread through that the holes are challenging, but the paths provide enough clearing to prevent it becoming frustrating. Its a real pleasure to find an 18-hole course thats so well kept up!

This is a small park for kids that can climb, there are only two swings, a climbing rock and tables. For older kids, theres a basketball court and a tennis court. The high ropes course is by appointment only.

The disc golf course is a fun one. The holes are short but technical, so great for players without a lot of power behind their throws. Biggest downside is all the poison ivy.

Short course, bring a putter. Good use of the terrain. Some holes are a little difficult to locate but manageable. I can see this course being non playable if there is a lot of rain though.

Review №55

Very small playground with a climbing rock, one plastic tire swing, some musical play things, and a few picnic tables. Across a lane is a regular swing set, no baby swings. It also had covered basketball and tennis courts. Went during daytime with my toddler and it was deserted and quiet, also out of site of road. Felt a little weird being completely cut off from all people like that, not completely safe.

I went here to play disc golf because it was the closest park. I will never go back here to play. The first hole was not clearly marked and it took a while before I figured it out. There needs to be better signage. The tee pads are horrible and the holes need to be cleaned up with the overgrowth!

Review №65

Visited this park to check out the disc golf course. It was a confusing course. Holes were poorly marked, many were unusually short (e.g. less than 40 ft), and there were few platforms indicating where to throw from. There was a huge ropes course and covered tennis courts which looked nice but for disc golf it was not a great place to play.

Muddy this weekend. Didnt help that the construction was pumping water towards the small creeks.

Review №67

Walking paths, a disc golf course with short but varied holes, and what looks to be a neat ropes course. I came as caddy for my husband to play disc golf and for myself to play pokemon go. If youre looking for squirtles this is a good spot!

Review №68

Short but challenging 18 hole wooded course perfect for a quick game right in the RTP (Easy to get to off of TW Alexander or 147) Has been recently maintained, there are easy to follow trails clearly marked from every basket to the next tee and white blazes to follow throughout entire course. The drainage issues have been addressed and the course has stayed relatively dry after rains. I wish there were concrete pads at every hole but otherwise fun course!For the record, the shortest hole is 129ft. Perhaps the previous reviewer meant 40 yards.
