West Point on the Eno Gets Major Accessibility Overhaul | Raleigh News

West Point on the Eno is getting a $5 million accessibility overhaul after decades of neglect—paved paths, accessible restrooms, and a new parking lot are coming, with the park closed until January 2027. The push for change dates back to 2005 when the DOJ flagged the park for ADA violations, and recent flooding made urgent upgrades even more critical. While minor fixes were made over the years, this is the first major step toward true inclusivity. The city also plans new playgrounds and stormwater systems, as Durham’s parks face national criticism for equity gaps. This year’s Festival for the Eno moves downtown, and more accessible upgrades are on the horizon for all Durham parks.
