Lyon Park
from HTYP, the free directory anyone can edit if they can prove to me that they're not a spambot
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 1313 Halley Street 27707{{#set:postal code=US/postal code/27707}}, 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 care for special needs kids in the public school system
- 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.
