Southern Boundaries Park

Southern Boundaries Park is a 29.7-acre public park located in South Durham, North Carolina. The park offers a variety of recreational facilities and natural spaces for visitors to enjoy.

The park features several sports facilities, including eight tennis courts suitable for tournament-style play, two youth baseball/softball fields, and three basketball courts. These amenities make Southern Boundaries Park a popular destination for both casual and organized sports activities.

For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the park provides access to greenways and trails, allowing visitors to take leisurely walks or jogs through the natural surroundings. The park also includes picnic areas, providing spaces for families and friends to gather and enjoy outdoor meals.

Southern Boundaries Park is equipped with modern conveniences such as restroom facilities and water fountains. The park grounds are well-maintained, with field lights available for evening activities.

In 2017, the park received a unique addition to its landscape. Artists Julia Gartrell and Julienne Alexander created a mural on the bathroom and storage facility. This public art project involved community participation, with park visitors contributing ideas before the artists incorporated silhouettes of local residents into the final design.

The park's location at the edge of a suburban area, where the woods begin, provides a tranquil atmosphere and a sense of being close to nature while still within the city limits.
