Want to get in the trenches and get your hands dirty?

Durham Central Park would be nothing without its great volunteer corps! There are many volunteer opportunities throughout the year-from monthly park cleanups to helping out at our events. We would love for you to join us and we can even accommodate volunteer groups.

Host a Party

Love to entertain and bring people together for fun, food, and drink?

Each fall, we hold a series of fundraising dinners and parties called Parties For The Park. Individuals, groups and businesses host dinner parties to benefit the park-raising 30% of DCP’s annual operating budget. We are always looking for folks who are interested in hosting.

Not up for hosting? You can, of course, just attend them as well.
