    This is a cool little civil war battlefield park to wander around and learn a little bit about history. The paths are well maintained, although the last storm has knocked down several trees that they're working on clearing. Not their fault at all. Beautiful day for a walk in the woods. Love that the first thing stated on the sign says "This above map is self-explanatory" ... Not all battlefields look like Gettysburg, and if you follow the trails, read the markers, and look around at the landscaping, you'll see exactly how this battlefield played out, and the redans that are present to maintain the story.

    Wonderful area, great for all. Area is very well maintained and signs are full of great information. A hidden gem off of a busy highway.

    Glenburnie Park - Nice disc golf course. A million frogs hopping around. Keep an eye out for snakes.

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!

    Moved here from Myrtle Beach a little over two years ago to look after my ailing mother. I've lived…read morein Colorado, Kansas, Mississippi, Arizona, South Carolina, and now here. This is by far the worst place that I have ever had the misfortune of living in. New Bern is what I would call a white washed tomb. The old town has a pretty facade, but behind that is a shallow, pretentious town with a very high crime rate, mediocre food scene, and high priced bars, I went to Pismo Beach California not long ago and spent less there in 3 days than I did for one night in New Bern. The bars are weird, full of college students that honestly do not want to work, they're rude, they've added tips to my receipts (three beers and a meal came out to an amended charge of $150), I ofc disputed that and will never give that establishment my business again, my bill was $50 and I gave a $20 tip, a day later my bank statement alerted me that they changed the charge by $80. This isn't the first time or only place that has done this, as the spot across the street did the same when I went back into town for a drink and a quick meal 6 months later. Not sure what's going on there. Cops, despite the high crime rates, there are cops everywhere, but they are busy pulling people over for moving violations. This is the first place that I've ever lived where I have met several people on the same work crew as me who have gotten 3-6 tickets in a short time. This is the first place that I've gotten several tickets in 20 years, 2 of them I had dropped in court after having to pay hundreds for an attorney, and I just got a 3rd one that I will have to spend several hundred more for, plus court fees, the economy is abysmal here, so this seems to be the bread and butter, never seen anything like it. Imagine if they went after the hood areas where the crime rates are 50% higher than the national average. The job market here is: Restaurants and bars, and Temp agencies, Biloxi Mississippi had a better economy and it's a poverty area. The people are implants mostly, very fake, the traffic sucks, the food is meh to really bad, the historic places are mostly fake, they are recreations, or buildings that were brought here from other places and staged up in order to create a faux historical appeal. If you want a night life without a super high crime rate go to Murrells Inlet SC a few hours away, if you want a good economy go almost anywhere else, if you want hospitality go upstate more or the Midwest. There is nothing good that I can say about this place after living here and as soon as I am able to, I will be out of here faster than any other place that I've ever lived in.

    Cute town with pretty streets and old buildings to see. Take your time to walk around, enjoy the…read morescenery, and shop a little. Fun to know that New Bern was the birthplace of Pepsi cola, and there's a shop downtown to commemorate it.
