Indian Trail

Indian Trail park is a teeny little park in Old West Durham. However, despite its small size, it packs a decent amount of charm.
The main reason I’ve passed through this park (don’t blink because you may miss it) is that the West Ellerbee Creek trail runs into it, and I’ve run on that trail a time or two. In fact, it seems as though the trail brings a lot of runners, walkers, and dog walkers into this park. Aside from the running, I’ve also had a couple early evening picnics here as there’s a sizable field that lends itself to picnicking (as well as football, soccer, frisbee, kite flying… you get the idea). Indian Trail also features a small playground, a handful of benches, and some outdoor exercise stations. So if you’re looking to compete in an international monkey bars competition, Indian Trail park may serve as solid training grounds.
Yup, it’s not the biggest park in the world, but it’s clean, well-​maintained, and does what it does well!

This is our favorite park in the area. Shaded in the summertime and it joins with a long, paved trail which is great for a walk in the woods or a place for the young ones to ride their bikes.
The equipment lends itself to imagination better than any park near OWD.
