Personally I think a couple basketball hoops would make this park a little better. The walking/running trail is a 1/4 mile long and was recently re-paved so it's pretty solid.

There are some nice views, and paths allow you to walk a decent distance in either direction. There was picnic seating and passable restrooms among other facilities. It feels very different than the classic Outer Banks areas that are not so far away, but it has a relaxed charm that has merited more than one stop for me over the years.

Fantastic to be by the water in this six acre park where the Neuse and Trent Rivers meet. Benches,…read morepicnic tables and grills allow for a great opportunity to be riverside and outside. Playgrounds, restrooms and a handicapped-accessible boardwalk! The gazebo at the center was being set up for some sort of Veterans' Day event and I certainly appreciate the effort and dedication of setting up all those flags. When that's not going on, there are probably music concerts and other festivals in this terrific space! [Review 18889 overall - 3374 in North Carolina - 2412 of 2022.]

This park contains one of the best disc golf courses in the New Bern area. Barring a few instances over the past year, this course has been well maintained and a blast to play. The first half has more open long range holes, and the second half gets deep into the woods with some really tricky shots. Most holes have two difficulty levels, as evidenced by the different starting pads and baskets. Overall, this course is challenging, and it's a beautiful hike to boot. B. This park has a lot of different species of frogs, toads and lizards. It's a ton of fun to just walk around and try to spot as many different little creatures as you can find. Being right on the bank of the Neuse means there are always interesting things to poke and the views are nothing to shake a stick at either. C. Glenburnie has a pretty awesome playground that my young nieces just love to visit. The equipment is very well maintained and is kept well stocked with plenty of children for your youngins to play with. As an adult, I find myself wanting to climb the giant rock they have at the playground every time I visit. D. Snakes!? Why'd it have to be snakes? During the spring time, I've noticed a water moccasin or two sunning themselves on the disc golf course between holes 5 and 10. As I said before, the grounds are well-kept at Glenburnie Park, so keep your eyes open and be aware of your surroundings and its not an issue. Overall, I love this park. If you find yourself in the New Bern area, check it out!

I totally forgot that I left a crappy review for Flanners Beach three years ago back when there was…read moreno beach access. Access was restored recently, and whereas this is not a beach where I'd spend a weekend (too small), it is a good place to go for a brief trip to enjoy water and nature! I'm so glad they have reopened this beach.

Love this place and was saddened by all the damage Hurricane Florence did in late 2018. The good…read morenews is that the east side trails are open! I just hiked several of them and it appears there has been much work done to clear the trails of debris and add a top layer above the major trails for mountain bikes. I don't think most people know it is back open because the official government websites still list Flanner's Beach as closed. There are several wooden fences that were put up to prevent access to this area and the western trails. In fact, the entire parking lot is gated closed with "No Entry" signs posted everywhere. Although the camping area and circular hard-surface paths are open, access to the river-side trails is also blocked. I had to park at the small lot just south of where the county property ends. There are a few other places to park prior to there that will allow access to trails further away from the river. I'm hoping the western trails will open, but for now am grateful for whoever did the work to open the eastern side - thank you!
