I'm looking for a way to wipe just one partition from the drive. Currently I have a recovery partition which needs to stay as it is and a partition with windows 10 installed which needs to be wiped.

I've looked in to DBAN, but it seems it can wipe only a complete drive.

Are there any free tools? Is it possible to to do this with a bootable Ubuntu USB?

On any linux distro, you can do:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdbX

After zeroing the partition, you'll perhaps want to remove the partition itself, which you can do with diskpart, fdisk, or any number of other tools.
