Birchwood Park

Birchwood Park is a 4.9-acre public park located in East Durham, North Carolina. The park provides recreational space for the local community and features several athletic facilities.

The park's main attractions include a youth baseball/softball field and a basketball court, offering opportunities for both organized sports and casual play. The open grass field can be used for various activities and informal games.

Birchwood Park is maintained by Durham Parks and Recreation and is open to the public from dawn to dusk. The park's location in East Durham makes it easily accessible to nearby residents, providing a convenient outdoor space for exercise and leisure.

In 2024, the City of Durham initiated a public art project for Birchwood Park, aiming to create a more welcoming recreational space. The project includes plans for an inclusive ground plane mural on the existing basketball court to engage people of various abilities in play, along with other potential artistic elements such as benches or basketball goal vinyl.
