Glenburnie Park — Attraction in New Bern

I visit this park often to walk my small dog. I love how huge the park is with its rolling hills, over-view of the river and the overall quietness of the environment. It has plenty of shaded picnic tables and shade from tall hardwood trees all over. There's a boat ramp and a disc golf course for recreational purposes. Also, there is a fenced-in dog park and a kids playground. For those who like to fish off a pier... there's one here too.

My only complaint is the entire park isn't paved anywhere except for the boat ramp area. All other areas where you can drive is dirt. Forget keeping your car clean inside and out after a rain storm. You'll be tracking sand in your car every time. If the roads were paved this would be a perfect place for family gatherings. 4 stars only because of the dirt roads otherwise it's a 5 star...

I went here to play the disc golf course. I fell in love with this course immediately! I’ve played nearly 80 North Carolina courses, and this one ranked very well! I know a great course when I see one, and I’ve been reflecting on this one for 3 days straight, now. I would not call it a beginner course, as the playground is fairly close to where you’ll be throwing from, immediately on starting, and because several holes look insanely complicated, due to all of the trees on site.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this course to someone that’s been playing for around a year.

I found hole 1 to be addictive! I just had to throw 50 discs at the basket, after my round was over.

Go play this Course if you have any...
