Newtown Park

Johns Creek·All ages·Outdoor

Newtown Park in Johns Creek is a big, well-equipped stop for families who want more than one activity in a visit.

Restrooms and water fountains are spread throughout the park near the playgrounds, soccer fields, and tennis courts, and picnic pavilions with tables and grills sit close to the play areas. A practical little outing for burning energy before it gets redirected into questionable home projects.
