East Durham Park

East Durham Park is a public recreational area located in Durham, North Carolina. The park sits on 9.01 acres of land in the East Central Durham neighborhood. It offers a variety of outdoor facilities for community use and enjoyment.

East Durham Park is one of five city parks in Durham that are part of the State's Pre-regulatory Landfill Program. This designation is due to the discovery of high levels of lead and other contaminants in the soil. As a result, certain portions of the park have restricted access for safety reasons.

Despite these challenges, the park remains a valuable community resource. It features several recreational amenities including sports facilities and play areas for children. The park serves as a gathering place for local residents and provides open green space in an urban setting.

Visitors should be aware of the soil contamination issue and follow any posted guidelines or restrictions when using the park facilities. The City of Durham provides more detailed information about the soil testing and safety measures on their official website.
