About:In the early 1920s, planners were set to create a lake in the valley that is now Duke Gardens. Funds were short back then and they began planting instead. Now, this is one of the most beautiful scenes around. Comprised of three main sections, the original Terraces, the Blomquist Garden of Native plants and the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum, the gardens are a treat all year round but make their best show in spring when the tulips are blooming. Bring a picnic and set out a blanket among the flora or just meditate under a shady tree. Admission is free. Sarah P.Duke Gardens open daily at 8am.
Hours:Su to Sa from 08:00am to 06:00pm

    Beautiful!: Sarah P Duke Gardens is one of the highlights of Durham. It's a great place to walk, picnic, take your dog, throw the frisbee around, etc. It's also a great spot for taking pictures! There are numerous grassy spots and benches for you to hang out, as well as pathways for walking among the trees and flowers. Go for a visit!

    Stunning natural beauties, pleasant park: There is no admission fee. Sometimes the parking is free too. Usually the park is not crowded. It is gorgeous and has different sections with different types of gardens within one park. Strolls are easy and there is plenty of room to enjoy it all. The highlight is the steps garden at the center, which would be idealic for a wedding ceremony or other special event.
