Protecting Black Meadow Ridge is our current focus and we need your help!
The Friends of West Point is a 501c3 non-profit organization whose purpose is to protect and enhance West Point Park on the Eno River in Durham, North Carolina. West Point Park is a 400 acre city park located on a two mile stretch of the Eno River between Roxboro Street and Guess Road, five miles north of downtown Durham.
