Belmont Community Centre Playgrounds and skate park

If you want one spot in Durham where the whole family can actually do something, this is it. There’s a skate park, basketball court, football field, and a bike track — so between kids, teenagers, and adults, everyone finds their thing pretty quickly. The walking path is a decent loop if you just want to stretch your legs without committing to a proper hike. Parking is free, which makes a difference when you’re loading up with kids and kit. It’s the kind of community space that gets genuinely well used, and for good reason.
