They have great amenities in making this a wonderful park. But.....way too much debris all over the park. Everywhere you looks you could see litter and it looks like it has been there for awhile. I understand people at times throw their trash anywhere when done with it. Too bad for that way of thinking. But.....the park division should monitor the park for debris and dog poo on the artificial soccer fields. There is a sign that says no dogs on artificial turf, but who reads anymore. I seen at least 8 dogs on the field and one at the far end doing his business , off the leash, no owner in sight to pick up the poo.

Be super careful. I took my dog there today and she got attackEd right at the entrance when she was…read moretrying to get in. The owner couldn't control their dog and when I was finally able to get the attacking dog off my dog the owner did nothing and her dog again got a hold of my dog while we were trying to leave. once I was able to get the dog off my dog again. I took my dog away from the park to check her injuries (and mine from have to put fingers in that dogs mouth) while doing so the owner left without waiting to address the situation. what a mess. oh and while all this was happening. Two other dog owners just sat and watched.

The dog park is just natural normal trees and ground covering fenced in for your dog's enjoyment!! They do have water and they do have poop bag dispensers in trash cans but they have very very limited seating!! Some people even brought their own. They have three separate yards with one being for the agility items. It can be a little bit dusty but the dogs really seem to enjoy it

Indian Trail park is a teeny little park in Old West Durham. However, despite its small size, it…read morepacks 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 such an awesome dog park!! They have a whole area here for dogs, large and small. The…read morefenced areas are big so the dogs have plenty of room to run around.

Our dog had an absolutely amazing time here. There were so many other dogs for her to play with. This dog park is exactly what you hope for from dog parks and if you have a pup, you have to bring them here!

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!

Willow just wanted to meet the other dogs, explore everything and smell all the smells.

Nothing but trees and open space and acorns and tree needles and leaves and all kinds of other natural ground coverings. Multiple picnic tables and areas to sit spaced throughout the trees. They even have a take one leave one poop bag dispenser about every 50 ft along the fence line. Parking is a little bit away but the walk does you good. But for some reason you have to go through the big dog park to get back to the little dog park which can sometimes makes for some very interesting interactions!!

Small dog area to the left, area for the big dogz on the right, double gated entry to prevent any Great Escapes. Inside Oakwood Dog Park they've got pine chips laid down and LOTS of space and trees for doggie nirvana! There's also some bowls and water if your pooch gets thirsty. As for the clientele, most everyone was pretty well-behaved outside of a couple of over-excited canines. There's wasn't much nipping or territorial behavior and my friend's smallish beagle got along fine even with the bigger ones. They've even got some lawn chairs for owners to lounge on and a sizable parking lot. If you've got a doggie, great space to visit, even on a hot sunny day with all the tree cover. So come on down and visit Oakwood Dog Park, just watch out for the occasional land mines left behind by negligent doggie owners....
