Wharton Park is a beautiful green hilly area in Durham City created in 1857 by William Lloyd Wharton on his land north of the railway which was completed the same year. There is a small castle known as the Battery in the park overlooking the railway, as well as benches for visitors to enjoy the views of the city. Inside of the castle is a Crimean War Sebastopol gun given to the city. The park also has an amphitheater, a multi-use sport terrain, outdoor gym, a putting green, a heritage center, a mini-car track, a kids’ play area and a café.
