Existing and Proposed Trails

Durham Parks and Recreation (DPR) defines existing trails as those that have been built and are currently open for public use, offering facilities for walking, hiking, biking, or other recreational activities. These trails may be part of city parks, greenways, or natural areas and are maintained by DPR. Examples include paved greenways, dirt hiking paths, and multi-use trails. Proposed trails refer to planned pathways outlined in the DPR comprehensive plan. These trails are not yet constructed but are intended to expand the current network, improve connectivity, or enhance access to recreational spaces.
