It's my favorite outdoor park/gardens in Durham but a big beware to local photographers, Duke Garden wants your money even if you're not doing paid work so be careful and be sneaky when shooting.
Emma PowellJune 9, 2017Beautiful park! Wear comfortable walking shoes. Best to go during "off times" during the week. It's very crowded on the weekends.
Andy GastauerSeptember 6, 2017It's a great place to go for a late afternoon walk. Lots of great views.- Jordan GrosecloseJanuary 6, 2015Amazing place to go on a picnic or for a walk. Absolutely beautiful.
Yolanda NicholeFebruary 3, 2014Bring a blanket and food for a nice picnic on the big lawn. Also bring balls for the kids!- Stunning and just covered with so many kinds of plants and beautiful flowers.

Rose LaneMarch 22, 2013Go on a warm day and lay on the quad to catch some rays. Bring a book and a blanket--or your dogs.
Abdullah AlkhodairAugust 6, 2014Nice and huge gardens. Many kind of flowers there. The gift shop is really bad
Nalin BhardwajJune 16, 2015The gardens are nice for long walks and spending some time with nature...

Amy HoganDecember 4, 2010Park in the bottom lot to the far right. Take the shortcut to the large pond
Sadly no more dogs are allowed starting Jan 1, 2017. Used to be a great place to walk my dog but sadly I won't be visiting anymore.
Christopher LaneOctober 10, 2010Take prom photos here! Or wedding portraits, if you're a little older.

"Take Cultural Heritage classes! They are inexpensive, fun, and you can learn how to keep animals, garden or make traditional items like kraut, mead, cheese, yarn, and quilts!"
