Playground Review: Whippoorwill Park in Durham

The playground equipment here is pretty typical, featuring swings, slides and places to climb. The smaller piece, for kids ages 2 to 5, includes a short tunnel and a pretend "general store." I like that the playground isn't cluttered with equipment. There's some space here for kids to run around.

The park also has tennis courts, a youth baseball field, picnic tables and greenway access. It looks like there might be some drainage issues here. It hadn't rained for a while when I visited recently, but there were still plenty of muddy patches around the playground. There are bathrooms, but they were locked when we visited.

For a closer look at the playground, watch the quick video.
