What do you do? You detour of course. In the past year, Wildcat Transit has had to plan around extended construction projects that have cut us off from some of our popular CONTACT YOUR HR bus stops.

R- Town of Durham Master Plan Draft Our Vision In 2025 and beyond, Durham celebrates exceptional water and land-based natural resources used for recreation. The community boasts a wide-range of outdoor and indoor recreational activities that enhance a healthy lifestyle and quality of life, including first-class public parks and recreational facilities available for its residents. Improvements to existing infrastructure have led to Durham being recognized as one of NH’s most walkable and bikeable towns. Residents enjoy a busy, interconnected town-wide trail system that links residents and visitors of all ages to Durham’s neighborhoods, the downtown, improved playing fields, along with conservation lands and open spaces. The community also benefits from a variety of recreational opportunities associated with the University, including multi-purpose athletic facilities and managed natural areas. Along the shoreline at the mouth of the Oyster River, Wagon Hill Farm is one of the brightest jewels in this interconnected system. Its historic and scenic beauty is actively shared with the community in each of our four seasons. Closer to town, Jackson’s Landing is the second largest community park and a busy center for summer camps.
