Westover Park

The dilapidated Maryland Avenue Bridge in Westover Park is being removed! Removing this closed bridge will improve the overall appearance and safety of the park as well as daylight the stream.

Construction begins May 15 and is expected to be completed by September 2023. During construction, a detour route for West Ellerbee Creek Trail is available. Pay close attention to detour and bike dismount area signs while on the trail.

Beyond construction, removal of the bridge will not impact use of West Ellerbee Creek Trail.

Westover Park is a 1.8 acre park located in West Central Durham. This park offers a playground, picnic tables, and a grill.
