Dog Park

Centennial Dog Park was established in 2016 as a partnership between the City of Newton, Rotary Club, Caring Hands Humane Society, and Newton Dog Park Project. The fenced area is about 2 acres in size, with separate areas for large and small dogs, and water fountains for dogs and their humans. Owners are responsible for the behavior of their dogs at all times. Dogs must be current on all vaccinations, and dog waste must be cleaned up immediately. Limit of three dogs per person.

Pod Park

Established in 2002, this natural park is located northwest of the Blue Sky sculpture in Centennial Park and offers a peaceful, nature-inspired experience for all ages. Scattered along a 0.68-mile winding path, visitors will find unique "pods" crafted from recycled park materials such as rocks, tree logs, and stumps. These natural elements encourage exploration, quiet reflection, and light physical activity in a more organic setting. The trail is bordered by native grasses and wildflowers, creating a serene environment perfect for walking, observing nature, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
