Martin Marietta Park Master Plan
Inland Fishing, Hunting & Trapping Regulations Digest
Martin Marietta Park is the newest and largest park in the City of New Bern Park System. This park is located on the site of a former quarry previously owned by the Martin Marietta Corporation. In the late 1990's the City of New Bern acquired approximately 800+ acres, primarily water. In 2017, the Martin Marietta Corporation graciously donated 55+ acres to help form the new park. In 2018, McGill Associates completed a Master Plan for the park site. During the master planning process, considerable public input was received for the project. Rules & Regulations
