Events and Recreation enhances the community experience by offering a variety of activities throughout the year. Special summer events like Fireworks on the Lake and Newcastle Days bring the community together, while seasonal celebrations such as Pumpkins in the Park and Lights of Newcastle add festive cheer. Year-round youth sports programming at Lake Boren Park provides active opportunities for kids, and summer camps keep them engaged during the break.

Additionally, Events and Recreation coordinates city volunteer opportunities and collaborates with local community organizations, fostering a strong sense of connection. Whether looking for family-friendly fun, youth recreation, or ways to give back, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy and support the vibrant Newcastle community.
