A. 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!
