I had my first Pickleball experience at this park last week! The pickle ball courts are amazing! What a fun game! It’s a beautiful park with the Pickleball courts nestled in the trees. The soccer field is also very nice! I went in the mid afternoon timeframe and there was plenty of parking. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Durham!

My dogs and kids love this place! They had large areas for them to run and play. And the other dogs played very well. My kids enjoyed bringing the fur kids to Piney Wood dog park!

Nice little playground in the middle of the woods. Had to look around for a few minutes before I was even able to FIND it, LoL. It was around 30° but my little guy still had fun on this playground. Very modern equipment and LOTS of variety of ways to climb and play on things. Has a twisty slide, spiderweb rope climbing, abs a curved mountain rock-climbing wall. Of course there’s a small kids playground too for the one-year-olds. Great park! There is also a fenced in dog park here as well!

My kids love this playground, but there is an unsafe spot where my daughter got her elbow stuck. She just hung on her elbow and screamed for me to save her. Afterwards, a woman came up to me and said that a lot of kids litter in this area. It looks cool, but it turns out it is not safe at all. there is no bathroom here, so I had to crawl under a bush😶

We found this park kind of by accident, but what a great find! I had gone to Perkins Orchard then looked in maps for a nearby park to take the kids and this popped up. It's a fun little park with lots of shade! It's next to a dog park as well so my kids were excited to see the dogs go by and watch them play. There's also some picnic tables and benches so it would be a great place for a lunch outing. Next time I'm over in Durham I'll definitely be back to this nice little spot!
