Parks & Recreation
The Town of River Bend has several recreational
amenities for the enjoyment of residents of all ages.
We also have a small picnic shelter (with restrooms) and
gazebo in Town Hall Park, and two docks overlooking
Town Hall pond.
Our Dog Park is located in Ritter Field for the recreational
enjoyment of our four legged friends.
Of course, there are also numerous natural areas to enjoy
as you walk our quiet residential streets.
For those who desire more organized activities, there is
the privately owned River Bend Country Club featuring a
top-notch 18-hole public golf course that meanders
through some of our residential neighborhoods. This
course was the winner of the New Bern Sun Journal’s
award for being “Simply the Best Golf Course in New
Bern” in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
You may also wish to launch your boat into the Plantation
Canal at the privately owned River Bend Marina. Cruising
out the Town maintained canal will take you to the scenic
Trent River, from there to the Neuse River, then the
Pamlico Sound, and all the way to the Intracoastal
Waterway and Atlantic Ocean.

| Town Commons Master Plan The Town of River Bend engaged a professional engineering firm, W.K. Dickson to design a conceptual plan for improvements to our recreational facilities. This conceptual plan was based upon input the Town received through a survey and public meetings. The most recent additions to our facilities that are part of this master plan are the dog park and skate park. A walking trail, also part of the master plan, is scheduled for construction in late 2009. Click Here to View the layout of the Walking Trail. |
