Union Point Park

We enjoy coming to Union Point Park and walking along the water, watching boats and other watercraft, and seeing the various birds. There is plenty of parking, restrooms, and a boat ramp. It’s a quick walk to downtown New Bern and fairly accessible for anyone with mobility needs. There are benches, picnic tables, shady areas, and playground equipment. We happened to be in the park when they were honoring veterans for Veterans Day. The flags were impactful, and everyone was respectful of the grounds and display.

This is a beautiful park on the New Bern waterfront. The pavilion is a great place to just pull out a chair and watch the gorgeous view. The waterfront with beautiful views of the bridge is so relaxing and makes for great photography moments. The paved walkway malkes it's way around the whole waterfront. We really enjoyed watching sailboats dock for a day trip. Free parking is just a short walk before the bridge near the hotel.

Nice views at this park. They really do like their flower decorations here - it is clear about that. Also saw a duck standing on water. The water looked amazing

We drove by this park several times during the day, but we passed by one night after dark and the holiday light display drew us in. What fun it was to walk around the different lights, a bear, an alligator, penguins ice fishing, a snowman and Santa. And a huge (25 foot or more) lighted tree. The decorations all through the historic downtown area were beautiful. What a wonderful surprise for children and adults alike.

My favorite place in New Bern to just sit and enjoy the views. There’s plenty of free parking and public restrooms are available. A cute park for kiddos and lots of seating options along the Riverwalk. This park alone is a great starting point for a nice walk through New Bern. So many cute shops and attractions all around the area! Dogs are allowed (leashed), there’s a picnic area and a small free library to browse.

Beautiful place to sit and watch the river 😊 lots of open spaces for kids to play as well as a few playground spaces. My only negative was I didn't see a public restroom although that might be my error.

Wonderful oarl surrounded by Neuse River. Great walking paths, park for children, picnic benches to eat at. Marriott hotel located next to Union Point Park, hotel located near Tryon Palace.

Nice waterfront park. Clean bathrooms. Lots of waterfowl and a feeding station for the birds.
