Newhall Community Park — Attraction in Concord

This park is one of the best Parks in the Concord, Calif. area. It has two ponds with ducks and geese. There are some fish and fishing is aloud. There are two very large areas for soccer, football, baseball fields and any other field sports you want to play. I believe you do have to contact the parks department to have an organized sports that needs a large amount of area to be played.( soccer, football, baseball, etc.). Newhall has an excellent dog park that is separated for large dogs (30 lbs. & Over) and small dogs under 30 lbs. The dog park has grass and is well maintained. It is closed on Wednesday's for maintenance. They close the dog park when it rains and becomes to wet. The dog park will be closing for yearly maintenance March 26 until April 23 (I believe that these dates are right). Check with the park department or visit Newhall Park they have signs telling you the dates. There is a hill in the park and on top of that hill is the Vet Nam memorial with the names those who gave their all for others in the service of our country. You might not agree with those who gave their all for someone else, but please respect them for the...

I've brought my dog Nova here since she was a pup. She's a purebred Siberian Husky. Never had too many issues here, other than she played and broke her toe when running around with another dog. This time I took her on June 23rd on a Sunday afternoon, and there was a rottweiler mix dog waiting to play (my assumption). The owner was excited, and as soon as Nova nudged me to open the gate the dog pounced towards and tried biting her neck. I ripped her away from the dog while the owner went ahead and started bashing his dog's head with the bucket for water. I was highly upset and cursed the man for allowing his AGGRESSIVE dog into a park ready to attack my dog! This place and many other dog parks need stricter laws and regulations on aggressive breeds because clearly the sign isn't helping. I will take this further up if nothing is done....

This is a nice place to take a walk with your dog, child or alone. There's a path all the way around the pond that is a nice walk. Too many geese in my opinion, but what do ya do! My only complaint is that the bathrooms are way far on the other side of the park, if your not familiar with the park, you will not know where the bathroom is. They were FILTY when I went, I would not take my child in there to use the restroom the way it was. I hope that they fixed that issue and its cleaner. Again, the only bathroom is at the end of the park by where the kids practice soccer and near the kids play area, so if you are down near the pond or dog park, the bathrooms are pretty far. Over all, its a nice place to walk and get some fresh air. The dog park is...
