NewPark Mall

I noticed with the renovation came a less than desirable crowd to follow. Ive been coming here my whole life, this is my «local» mall and i’ve never witnessed a more trashy crowd than I have in recent months since the renovation started taking place. Funny, I thought it would be the opposite. I’m going to stick to Valleyfair or Stanford. Very unfortunate

Trendy clothes with bad craftmanship for the most part, you can never find anyone to help you and the fitting room is so dirty and messy. I found dust bunnies everywhere and hair!!! Eeek I didnt want to take my shoes off! I told the guy in the dressing room but he just laughed. You get what you pay for I guess???

It’s rather clean and not too crowded but rather empty. They are currently under construction and a movie theater has been built and is joined to the mall. The security guards are pretty nosy and they overwhelm the mall on busy days. Shoe stores are probably the best stores around there. 4 main buildings on each end of the mall, Macy’s, J.C. Penny, Burlington, and Sears.

Even though this mall is not as updated as Valley Fair or Westfield Mall, I still prefer it over the Great Mall, which is much closer to where I live.
This mall is never overcrowded, which makes parking pretty easy. All of the stores are pretty well managed as far as cleanliness and organization. Of course, if you go to any mall during holiday season, it will definitely be a bit messier than usual. However, I like that this mall seems to be hidden away and easily accessible, especially if you just need to grab something last minute. You can be in and out in 15 minutes!

This place really needs some remodeling, but most of the shops are quite new, well stocked, and worth the trip there. It doesn’t get super crowded like most of the other malls in the South Bay Area. I really like the new H&M, Salt Tree, and Express stores.

i like this mall it feels more warm and welcoming rather than valley fair and all «those high end» malls. it isnt perfect either but honestly i pick this one over all the others. there usually isnt clusters of people so its pretty chill
if you like big fancy expensive stores dont come and waste your time here

Haven’t cared for this mall in awhile but since it’s been under construction more stores, better stores, and definitely getting up-​to-​date. Will be going here more.

Great stores but gross restrooms! would not eat the food since bathrooms are disgusting!!!

I’ve been coming to this mall as long as I’ve lived in Newark; almost 30 years now! I’ve even worked in this mall in highschool, but pretty much have avoided it when I want to go «shopping». I’ve seen it go through very little change until recently because of the new ownership, but it’s been a really slow process. In its current state, they’re working on re-​tiling the whole place, trying to build a new AMC movie theater where the old Target used to be, and get in new trendy stores that are in the other malls. With that said, there’s a lot of empty spaces where stores should be and there are a few stores that I have no clue how they stay in business.
PROS: It’ll be better one day when all the construction, remodel, and new stores are in. I like how they allow farmers market to go on in their parking lot Sunday mornings. I also like that H&M is now open!
CONS: Still feels old and dirty, needs more bathrooms and bathroom needs to be updated, Macy’s is a sh! tshow, especially around the holidays. Stores that have been there for years are extremely dated (Macy’s, JC Penny’s, even Burlington which is kind of new).
I’ll be happy to update my review once the new stores and movie theater opens up, but until then… it is what it is.

Newpark mall is way much better than it was before! Out with the old tile in withe the new although they lost some great stores the getting some good ones in place of the old ones like an AMC, Mr johns incredible pizza, quicksilver, much more

I came to this mall because I was bored and needed to kill time. But to my disappointment, I got even more bored! This mall is probably the second worst mall I have ever been to! (Hilltop mall definitely takes the cake being the worst!)
If you are from the city then there is nothing special about this mall. All the shops are smaller and fewer selection of everything. They have the normal H&M, Victoria’s Secret, F21, Macy’s, Sears, JcPenny… but they also gave a lot of non chained stores. (in general not very impressed!)

I remember coming here as a kid, hand-​in-​hand with my parents or older cousins, and just being amazed by how much was going on and how many «known» stores were open. Now… the scenery is a bit different. They still have the department stores worth going to and retail stores like Forever 21, The Disney Store, etc. but beyond that the other stores are probably independently owned and not stores you’ve heard of BUT if you’re down to go here for the specific shops mentioned, it’s a good place to go because it’s never really crowded at NewPark so you’re shopping experience won’t be tainted by crowds and messy stores! Haha.
As many other Unilocalers noted, they are doing renovations and are adding more stores that have a high chance of bringing more people in. For example, I know an H&M is set to be opening soon so that’s a definite plus!
High hopes for this mall and will await to see what the renovations can do to help improve the mall in general.

I have been going to this mall my whole life. It has slowly went down. Low end stores. Bad food court. Dollar stores. Come on.
I am glad to see they are making major renovations. I hope it will bring this mall back to 5 star status.

Probably one of the smaller malls I have been to since coming to the bay area… but I am glad to see that they are expanding!
Parking is spacious here, so park anywhere you like!
Food court here is pretty diverse, and lots of snack stations too! I felt like this mall is more for families with kids/​teenagers instead of those in their 20s or 30s. But if you need something last minute, I’m sure this place will suffice!

I think the mall is finally being remodeled which I think is great! It definitely needs to be fixed up. But still lacking stores that people are actually interested to go into.
Parking is always easy. Lots of spacious rooms and theres always a spot.
Cant wait to see what the new place will look like!

I love this weird little brother of a mall. I love that I can shop without having to deal with a thousand hypebeasts. I always routine The Disney Store, Shiekh, and my favorite, Fitters.
Also the Forever 21 here is a nice size and because the traffic here is slow the stores organization standards make for very enjoyable shopping.
Come here and shop without all the fighting.
NewPark mall, I love you.

Wow every time I come here it seems as though this place is running itself into the ground! Sadly this is not at all what it used to be. For one thing, basically every store besides Macys, Sears, Disney Store, Champs, & Starbucks has changed to something else haha! So many of the other stores have closed, even Red Robin! Noooo! No more bottomless fries and poppy seed honey mustard. It’s so sad to see how this place has gone downhill. It’s not even «ghetto» like Southland, it just looks and feels old and can’t seem to keep new stores in which should bring in the young crowd.
I think it’s about time that they renovate the entire place! It’s super eerie walking to the farther ends of the mall (Burlington side and top floor near Sears) because everything is either closed, or no one dares walk down this quiet hallway of doomed stores haha! I’m glad they’re adding a new AMC theater in place of target, but tbh they’ll have some tough competition considering Century theaters is not far away on either side of Mowry. The only reason I’d visit this mall is for their food court or Macys, but besides that it’s lacking. I hope to see the new version of this mall soon!

No thank you.
Maybe I’m just getting too old for malls, but I’d pass on this one.
