Duke Park

The land that makes up Duke Park was a ranch that was possessed by Brodie Duke in the late nineteenth and mid twentieth hundreds of years. At the point when Duke started platting out parts and offering properties in the zone, the Junior League influenced him to give this bundle for a recreation center site-all things considered, its geology made it moderately unbuildable. The homes and cabins creating along Glendale, Mangum, and N. Roxboro Street expanded quickly in the 1930s as vehicles turned out to be more famous, and the City hoped to build up the site as a recreation center. As the most established of Durham's neighborhoods that advanced in the 1920s, Duke Park rose in the start of the decade as private improvement in North Durham reached out past the Norfolk and Western Railroad line.
