Baseball, basketball, picnic shelter with tables, playground and tennis courts. Add some seating around the basketball courts and perhaps a few more benches around the super awesome playground and you'd have five stars. There is a large parking lot here and the building has restrooms (currently closed). [Review 15530 overall, 1034 of 2021, number 3069 in North Carolina.]

There was a truck in the parking lot selling water ice which was super yummy! Overall great park trip.

I discovered Northgate Park recently while training on the Ellerbe Creek Trail, which runs directly…read morethrough this rather large park. Honestly, I CAN'T believe I've never spotted or been to this park before, it is really lovely, and as a self-proclaimed park connoisseur, it's embarrassing that I've missed this location for so long! What you should know: the park is really large, split into four sections. The main section and largest part of the park is my personal favorite. It is one huge plot of land that is divided into two segments with a stream and forest area in the middle also connected by a foot bridge. On half of this area you have a paved running trail (the Ellerbe Creek Trail), which winds through the park with lots of tree coverage and benches to rest on if needed. The other half of this area houses two playgrounds (one more toddler focused and one for older children), drinking fountain, bike parking, baby swings, picnic tables and shelter, chess/checker board seating and grill area. There are several open fields in this area of the park, but none are large enough to be qualified as athletic fields. The other two sections of this park include a dog park across the street and two tennis courts (and bathroom facilities) that host a variety of neighborhood parties, including Northgate Park food truck rodeos. Northgate Park has a seemingly great neighborhood association which is very active. In addition to the neighborhood park food truck rodeos, they host holiday events: Easter egg hunts, Halloween trick-or-treat festivities, etc. Make this park a destination in itself, or visit before/after a trip to the Museum of Life and Science, accessible from the park by foot or car.

That's the downside. The upside is that the rest of the park is well-kept and spacious for what it is. Lots of parking, and there are 8 tennis courts! And a large field (looks like it's primarily used for baseball and volleyball), plus built in bleachers for spectating. A little path through a wooded area leads you to the Vietnam Veterans memorial and spills into the Johnston Center parking lot (where you'll find an aquatic facility and more).

I'm really not sure what Rock Quarry Park is missing! They host a bunch of public events (Light The…read moreNight Walk and Woofstock are just two events coming up THIS month!) and it's where the military branch based next doors always has their family day. I run through this park when I'm on the Ellerbe Creek Trail and sometimes stop to grab a drink from the water fountains. Rock Quarry Park has athletic fields, greenway access, lights, picnic facilities, play grounds, restrooms, soccer fields, tennis courts, water fountains, and a youth baseball field. If you enter and following the parking lot straight down, you'll see a trail entrance. This trail (sometimes with use of sidewalks) leads to the Vietnam Veterans Living Memorial, Edison Johnson Recreation Center, Museum of Life and Science, and joins up with the Ellerbe Creek Trail. Do take note that the park is referred to as "Rock Quarry Park at Edison Johnson Recreation", the two kind of spill into one another. The ACTUAL park has the athletic fields, bathrooms and tennis courts, while the Recreation Center has everything else (even a pool and a splash pad!) And of course the Vietnam Veterans Living Memorial is located in the middle, on the path that connects the park to the recreation center. You will find people "hanging out" in their cars in the parking lot, like at most Durham Parks, but they've never bothered me. Overall, this is a great park for field activities, tennis and runners. I definitely pay it my park dues!
