The Newman Memorial Park is home to miles of summer and winter trails, a one-of-a-kind fenced wilderness dog park, and a large covered pavilion with a beautiful lake overlook. Volunteers with the Willow Area Community Organization have contributed countless hours to this area and its trails.

The Newman Park Trailhead provides access to the Pat Newman Memorial Park Trails, a network of trails in and near the Willow Creek State Recreation Area. The trailhead  can be reached by turning west on the Willow Creek Parkway (near mile 71 of the Parks Highway) and traveling approximately 1 mile before turning left on the driveway to the new community park. The dog park can be found at the parking lot immediately prior to the Newman Park Trailhead. Trails north of the Willow Creek Parkway are designated as non-motorized.
