Lyon Park

Overview
Lyon Park refers to two adjacent areas in Durham, NC: a city park, and the community center on the hill above (to the east of) the park.

Community Center
The community center's official address is either 1309 or 1313 Halley Street, though searches often turn up 1103 Cornell St.; the building's main entrance is on the south side of Halley Street, between Fairview Street and Kent Street.

Phone: 919-560-4288

building uses

 * Lyon Park Clinic (Suite 137)
 * After-school programs
 * Many of Durham Parks & Recreation's summer camps are held there

map inaccuracies
This area of Durham appears to be poorly mapped:
 * Both Google Maps and Yahoo Maps show Halley Street as connecting with Carroll Street to the west; it actually dead-ends just below Fairview, and there is a paved bike/foot path through the woods to Carroll.
 * Google Maps also shows that the eastern end of Halley is named Cobb; I'm not sure if there is any truth to this.
 * Directions to Duke University's Center for Child and Family Policy state that the parking lot is to the left of the building; the parking lot is actually across Halley Street from the building.
