Durham is in North Carolina, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Durham follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

decent courts with cracks and bad restrooms
Al Hartman 3 years ago
I was visiting family near this park and was a little early, so I typed in "parks near me" and Elmira Avenue Park showed up, so I navigated there. The entrance is poorly marked with a skinny road that at first I thought was an alley, and had to stop quickly because my GPS said I was there. As I pulled in, I still wasn't sure at first I was in the right place, but then I saw the tennis courts, so I knew I was on the right track. There were many people there including a school some taking lessons, and others practicing for their school, and all courts were full. The courts were very nice, maintained, lined, actually very, very nice courts. I came to walk my dogs, so before I did that, I went to use the restroom... oh boy... The side facing the courts and parking area were either closed, or storage, oddly arranged and unmarked, the back side was marked as neither men or women, but common use, which is fine except... I'm a man trying to use the restroom around a bunch of kids, and I quickly found out that the door latches were taped over and broken, so anyone could walk in on you! So I opted to just hold it, and not use the jail inspired utilities that are all stainless steel, like 100

Lots of great tennis action at this park! Courts are decent and lighting is pretty good compared to other places. Only drawback that I've experienced is that some of the lower courts seep water in the cracks even if it's a dry day. But overall I still recommend it.

Iโm just here to talk about the playground. Itโs a very colorful play structure for ages 5-12. My 2 year old was able to play on it supervised and with assistance. The step to get onto the play set is rather high and the only other ways up are a various ladders that I spotted my almost 5 year old on. There are 3 slides. If you go on a day after rain, the slide that turns holds water so be careful. The play structure is over wood chucks. If you have a climber, theyโll love this park. Thereโs one bench and an umbrella over part of the structure for shade. Thereโs lots of open space around it. There are no swings and no toddler play structure. My boys rated it a 7/10. There are trails surrounding the park, tennis courts and a basketball court. Thereโs also a bathroom but I didnโt actually go in. Thereโs a nice sized parking lot and a picnic shelter.
