The City of Durham wants to hear from YOU! How would you reimagine the Historic Durham Athletic Park (DAP)? Located near Durham Food Hall and Durham Central Park, this space has a rich history, and now the city is planning for its future. This is your chance to have a say in how downtown Durham can better support young people.
Why It Matters
Right now, there aren’t many dedicated spaces for youth in downtown Durham. That’s why the Changed By Youth Ambassadors are stepping up to gather ideas directly from young people, ages 13-24, through two virtual listening sessions. Your input will help shape the future of DAP, making it a space that truly serves the community.
Join a Virtual Listening Session & Get Rewarded!
We want to make it easy (and worthwhile) for you to share your thoughts. Pick a session that works for you and receive a $20 e-gift card for participating!
📅 Session 1: sat, feb 22, 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM

How You Can Help

- Parents, educators, and community leaders: Spread the word so more young people can take advantage of this opportunity.
