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.

This is a growing seedling article. You can help HTYP by watering it.

Community Center

The community center's official address is 1313 Halley Street 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.
