Sandy Creek Park

Most improved park in Downtown. Beautiful gardens. Bathrooms open and clean. Ample covered picnic tables.

What a great use of low lying/bog land. Beautiful native greenery and wild live.
Great habitat, easy walking trails, clean restrooms and butterfly way station.

Good place to chill out..take a walk.
You also have shelter, picnic tables and grills available.

I love this park! It’s small yet comforting. Almost like a “Secret Garden”. This is a hidden gem right off the highway in Durham.

There is limited parking but a very nice area to walk around. You can hear the traffic while strolling so I just pretended it was water. Then I actually came across a little creek.

Ran into a family of Canadian Geese with their five chicks! Saw ducks and turtles and lots of butterflies. The air was sweet from honeysuckle and wild irises. It just felt magical walking the back trails where the grass seemed 5 feet tall.

Ate a picnic lunch, had a very good afternoon.

There is a loop around the pond, but there's a little patch not paved and easy to miss if you go up the path instead of down the path that starts from the paved area. However, pretty views and the bridge is nice. Perfect for short walks with views, meditation walks, beginner runners, and for small/beginner bicyclists 😊 plenty of spots to sit and relax. A porch-swing on a terrace overlooking the field. There is an open field perfect for soccer, football or just tossing the ball to the doggies. Oh, and dogs are welcome on the paths! Bathroom on site.
