Confirmed from Newtown Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Bustling recreational area featuring sports fields, playgrounds and a dog park.
What runners say about Newtown Park
“The walking trails are well maintained, the playgrounds are great for kids, and there is plenty of open space to relax or enjoy outdoor activities.”
“A beautiful, respectful memorial to the men and women who have served and presently serve in the Armed Forces.”
“You have the Veterans Memorial Walk for quiet reflection and the Mark Burkhalter Amphitheater for hosting fun events like the Summer Concert Series.”
“From one of the best dog parks in the nation, to a recreation center that is used by all ages - this park is one of the best in North Atlanta.”
“Newtown Park is a great park for dog walkers like me and my family, sports enthusiasts.”
A beautiful, respectful memorial to the men and women who have served and presently serve in the Armed Forces. Including a replica of the Vietnam Veterans wall in Washington, D.C. The entire Walk is beautifully landscaped and maintained.
Newtown Park is truly the crown jewel of Johns Creek—it offers something spectacular for every age and interest, making it an essential community gathering spot. The highlights for us are the incredible amenities.
Newtown Park is a great park for dog walkers like me and my family, sports enthusiasts. The walking trail is perfect for getting some exercise with your furry friend, I love the painted stones with inspiring messages. A dog park (one for small and one for large dogs) is very nice.
Large park filled with trails and courts, including 2 basketball, 4 tennis, 4 baseball, 6 pickleball, and 5 soccer, and 1 lacrosse field. Kid friendly and dog friendly.
