Great little park in Leland. We are newbies to disc golf and found this 9-hole, Par 3 course! Great…read morefor beginners as it's pretty open but still challenging with the trees and tee ranging from 150-300 ft. Not busy so we could play at our own pace too! There were lots of people walking the paved path around the course so you'll have to be mindful of them while playing. Was a little confusing figuring out course but there is a map online. Fun spot to check out. There is also a playground but was closed due to pandemic closures.

This is a fun course. With two sets of tees, the course is fine for players of all skill levels. I…read morelike how the community is involved in the course, as evidenced by the sponsorship signs on each tee. The old farm buildings make for a historic setting. On the day we played, after a day of rain., there were areas of standing water to be aware of. It would have been a good idea to have brought a toeel6to clean the discs and hands, but we had a fun round nonetheless.

Not much for younger toddlers except the baby swings on the side, a small slide, and an orange fish bridge that my daughter got a kick out of. Other slides and things to climb on seem great for ages maybe 5-12. I will say there were older kids/mostly teenagers there when we went at noontime during the week. There is a restroom and plenty of picnic seating for lunch after playtime. You wouldn't know this park was here unless you lived nearby or were specifically looking for it. It's not really on a main road or indicated very obviously in my opinion. As we drove in, we noticed that the grounds seemed pretty large and like there would be lots to offer--baseball field, campgrounds etc. Overall a nice park. My only qualm is that there isn't much for toddlers here.

From the Navy jet that greets you at the entry parking lot to the boat launches to the picnic pavilions to the boardwalk and trails, you'll find plenty of reasons to visit this park again and again! We enjoyed a picnic on Jack's Island. It's a little oasis in the park with picnic tables surrounded by water views! The trails are easy to walk and very accessible. Plus, did I mention the water views! So much better than walking around your boring neighborhood, right? Make sure you stop and enjoy this treat!

You can see glimpses of the park along the I-70 freeway on the south side of the Neuse River Bridge. There are boat launch areas and lots of beautiful wooden walkways with small fishing piers, benches, picnic areas, trails, a playground and the feel and scents of a marine environment. We discovered this fascinating, historical 'boat hauling machine' at one of the parking areas. The park is a great location to explore, exercise, fish, and relax.

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!

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.

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.]
