Duke Park

Duke Park is a huge greenspace in the middle of the Duke Park neighborhood, which is nowhere near Duke University. It was named for Brodie Duke who owned all the land that became the neighborhood and park. The neighborhood dates from 1910, so it is well-established and has a band of regulars from within and outside the neighborhood. The stone gazebo was built during the Great Depression. There are some "vintage" play structures scattered in the area (the park is huge and hilly) but the play structures are very new, and I think the structures are among the largest, most varied and most challenging you can find. There's a smaller toddler structure set in a little gully, and a large play areas with swings, a tot slide, and a huge adventure course with a two-story slide. Duke Park has a lot of curvy roads, and you can get a little lost. I think the easiest way to find it is to find you way to Knox St from Duke or Gregson Streets, and then follow it until it just runs right into the park. Address: 106 W. Knox St, Durham, NC 27701.

Durham Bulls Athletic Park

The Durham Bulls Athletic Park is one of the top things to do while you are visiting Durham. The ball park is home to the Durham Bulls minor league baseball team, and the fan game experience is unforgettable. Besides the game, the ballpark has unique eats beyond the typical hot dog fare and quirky ways to engage fans in the excitement. Keep your eyes focused on the bull billboard at the top of the stadium during home run hits. If a player hits the bull, he wins a free steak dinner. A mile away from the ball park is a treasure for true baseball fans and fanatics of baseball-themed movies. It is the location of the original stadium, which was the home of the Durham Bulls for more than 50 years and the location where the movie Bull Durham was filmed. Address: 409 Blackwell Street, Durham, North Carolina

Museum of Life and Science Trail Loop

Once you step inside the Museum of Life & Science, it is easy to see why it is one of the top attractions in Durham, especially for families. It's a center for non-stop activities for kids, with hand-on experiments and interactive exhibits, but it is just as entertaining for adults. The science museum has popular exhibits on weather patterns, space exploration, math, health, and various lab spaces for experiments and presentations throughout the day. There is a space for native North Carolina animals, which gets you up close to species like the screech owl and barred owl, which you are not likely to see unless you plan a night hike to the woods during your stay. There is a spacious outdoor area to see rescued lemurs and black bears and a popular butterfly conservatory. You will easily spend a few hours at the museum, so you can plan on a pit stop or coffee break at one of the two cafes. Address: 433 Murray Avenue, Durham, North Carolina
