Fort Benjamin Park

By: Lisa Hamilton


We took a trip right outside the Onslow County line to Newport to visit Fort Benjamin Park, it had way more to offer then I expected. It was nice to go somewhere different and new instead of our normal ventures to the park right around the corner from our house. I explored all over the park (it is pretty big) to take lots of pictures for you guys to see all this park has to offer! 






Fort Benjamin Park is located at:
100 McQueen Ave
Newport, NC 28570
 252-222-5858


Rec Center Hours:
Mon-Fri 8am-8pm
Saturday 9am-2pm
Sunday Closed









There are fun little areas like this all over the park that seemed to be very popular with kids there of all ages!









The park had multiple sports fields (soccer, baseball, and football), lots of tennis courts, a playground, disc golf course, fitness trail, covered pavilions with picnic tables, stage area with plenty of seating, bathrooms, recreation center, a few ponds, and plenty of parking. I hope you will get a chance to visit this park this Summer, it is worth it!
