Awesome park! Big park area with TONS of open space, dozens of picnic tables, multiple playground areas for age groups. There are some puddle areas from poor rain drainage, abs overall it’s sad to see how awesome of a park and playground this place has…to be so OLD-LOOKING??! The playground IS awesome, but is in BAD NEED of a fresh coat of paint. Super cool three-story playground though! Four slides! Two three-story twisty tube slides! The spiral staircase design of this playground is very creative and neat. There’s also a fenced in dog park area as well, and a large gazebo shelter area. It was an overcast day today but this park was packed and the playground was FULL of kids! Picnics and birthday parties all over the place. Great park and playground for your little ones and family. Such a fun playground with so many different climbing elements…

Duke Park is great. It’s a nice place to walk, have a picnic, grill, relax, study and much more. Has a beautiful tennis court. Love the trails around the park. Very relaxing and peaceful.

Great to come for fun there’s a nice small walking trail, playground for the kids, and picnic tables to enjoy a good meal in the nature. During the summer Frequently there’s a ice cream guy that comes around. Great park for everyone to come take short walks and let kids out. Plenty of parking.

great place for a birthday party for kids. there are places to bring pizza and cake, the kids can run around and meet other kids to play with, and there is shade (but not at the playground... only downside)
