TRAILS AND GREENWAYS HEALTH AND SAFETY ON PARKS AND TRAILS All park and trail users are required to comply with local and state restrictions including mass gathering size. As you recreate in Durham’s parks and trails, model social distancing by maintaining a safe distance (at least 6 feet) between you and other users. If you are unable to stay at least six feet away from others outside of your household please be sure to wear your mask or face covering. We have assigned off duty officers to monitor our parks, and we also ask that residents call the Police Non-emergency line at 919-560-4600 to report any violations of the Safer-at-Home Order or unsafe behavior.
