Another Year of #MyDurham

We're excited to start another year of My Durham programs and activities for the teens of Durham! If you haven't heard, My Durham is a free after school, evening programming at six of our local Recreation Centers for teens from 13 to 18 years old. My Durham is hosted at Holton Career and Resource Center, The Durham Teen Center at Lyon Park, W.D. Hill Recreation Center, Walltown Park Recreation Center, Weaver Street Recreation Center and I.R. Holmes, Sr. Recreation Center. In order to participate, you must sign up for a My Durham membership pass which is free and every time you visit a Recreation Center, you'll check in at the front desk with your pass. (A physical membership pass is not given unless requested)

This year My Durham has expanded to two new Recreation Centers: Holton Career and Resource Center and The Durham Teen Center at Lyon Park. Now you'll have even more opportunities to hang out with friends, go on field trips and experience new things! Every My Durham Site welcome teens into their Recreation Centers from Monday - Friday each week between 3 p.m and 7 p.m. Interested in seeing what activities will be happening at each site? Check out the Teen page on the Durham Parks and Recreation website for monthly program calendars.
