Bull City Parks: Get the Lead Out
An independent Durham community site tracks the city’s response to lead contamination at five parks and lays out residents’ demands for cleanup and reopening.
- For
- Durham residents tracking park closures and cleanup
- Worth noticing
- The park table lists closures by facility and says none of the five parks is entirely closed.
Field notes
The timeline links the soil-testing discovery to the state’s later inventory of historic landfills and the fencing that followed. Separate sections cover health, cleanup costs, and source documents. The park table reports restrictions by facility rather than labeling whole parks closed, and the page advises visitors to check posted signs. Its policy asks are proposals from the independent community effort, not city commitments.
