Bay-Hargrove Park

A Local Secluded Place

Tucked away at the corner of Hargrove and Bay Streets in Durham, North Carolina, Bay-Hargrove Park is one of those sweet little neighborhood spots that makes you appreciate community spaces. It's not massive or flashy, but it offers exactly what you need - a pleasant outdoor area where neighbors can connect, kids can play, and everyone can enjoy a bit of fresh air.

Recently Upgraded Play Area

In 2020, the park got a nice facelift with brand new playground equipment. Designed with kiddos ages 2-12 in mind, the play area now features standard swings that have quickly become a hit with the little ones. There's something classic about watching children enjoy those two swings - sometimes the simplest pleasures really are the best.

What You'll Find There

Beyond the playground, Bay-Hargrove offers plenty of open space to throw a frisbee, kick a ball around, or just spread out a blanket and relax. Since it's nestled right in a residential area, it's super convenient for nearby families to walk over and enjoy some outdoor time.

Feeling hungry? The picnic area with benches makes for a great lunch spot. You can even bring food to grill, as the park includes a grilling area - fantastic for those weekend cookouts. And you won't need to pack extra water bottles, thanks to the drinking water available on-site.

Durham Parks and Recreation keeps everything in good shape, so you can count on clean facilities and well-maintained grounds. The park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 9:30PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy this charming neighborhood retreat whether you're an early bird or prefer evening strolls.
