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. read more

Daiso is pretty much the only reason I go to this mall. I do like the fact that it's a lot less crowded than some other malls. The Charlotte Russe in here is huge. HUGE. read more

This place is depressing. It makes me think Michael Moore is going to make a documentary on this place soon. However, I shamefully took a nap at Macy's, in front of the fitting rooms, where at any given moment, 2-3 employees were working in front of me, and they never said a thing. And I was there for an hour. I thanked them afterwards and they were totally cool about it. Props to that Macy's. And I don't want to talk about why I was napping there. I acknowledge that I might have contributed to the ghettoness but that is the first and last time I'll be there, so it's fine. It's fine. It's FINE! read more

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 Yelpers 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. read more

Plenty of parking, not very busy at all. I've shopped at Work World for work boots and at JCPenny's. Other than that, I don't see a reason to come to this mall. read more

They are pretty complete here! They have victoria secret, pink, vans, Disney store. Small food court but they have good choices! Lots of parking spaces and AMC theater connected inside the mall as well as 24 hour fitness. read more

Employees at Charlotte Russe just seem miserable, especially one in particular today who didn't even look in my direction or the guest behind me when we asked her a question. She had a tie dye hoodie on but didn't get her name. When I was leaving the store a sensor went off so I went back inside and took all the clothes out to see if there was a sensor. She apologized and that was the sweetest she was throughout this whole process. Very fake. However i went to Torrid and they absolutely always have great customer service and asks me how I am doing and they always have a smile on their faces. Mall is obviously going downhill but it really depends on the store you go into. read more

Props to Newpark for all the renovations and improvements they are slowly making, And trying to get more and better stores. They have added a few new places to eat and drink, And a movie theater. Not as ghetto as it once was(Not that long ago). Now can they fix the roads and parking lots? Some of the potholes are as big as a sinkhole!! They have roped off the parking lot behind McDonald's due to what looks like an actual sinkhole and may have swallowed a car, or damaged one! read more

Hella nice compared to where we be at lol! Hella new errthang!! The Pakistani/Indian place in food court is hella gd!!!!!!!!!! like fr tho yum yum!!! and I know Indian food so trust me its gd!! Movie theater hella nice too!!! and they got Raputuins or is that Amoeba? fuck anyway its coo read more

This mall is way better than southland so its good to go here without the ghetto people and there are more bettter stores. less crime rate to then southland lol. read more

As of 2016, things are slowly starting to change around NewPark Mall, hopefully for the better. AMC Theaters recently opened, replacing the long-time Target (which I believe moved down toward Auto Mall Parkway at its new location). The flooring has been getting replaced over time. There used to be quite a few mainstream shops (and still are to some extent), but there have been more vacancies and stores closing over the years. Sears is still around and so is JCPenny. Mervyn's closed and has been replaced with Burlington Coat Factory. In other words, the mall has become more of a ghost-town but again, things may turn around eventually. Plenty of parking awaits you at all entrances. It doesn't seem to get nearly as overcrowded as places like Valley Fair and Great Mall. We'll have to see what happens in the next few years and find out if these long-awaited renovations are really worth it... read more

I grew up going to Eastridge in East Side San Jose, NewPark Mall reminds me a lot of my childhood mall. There are a few stores that appealed to me, Box Lunch, Forever 21, JC Penny, Express. Picked up a boba from the crepe shop within the food court. If I can ever go back here, I'd do it. read more

This mall is okay. I enjoy coming here. I don't know if I like this mall or stoneridge. I like both but Stoneridge a bit. It's better than going to them other ghetto malls like southland... There's a lot of muslims and southwest asians here...... read more

If you have been to stonestown galleria or union square shopping district in San Francisco... You have no logical reason to even be here at New Park.. It's simply a mirror image of tanforan mall but transplanted to the East Bay but with even less things to do nearby.. Quite honestly unless you're looking for gifts for kids and baby cousins from giftland.. every other store here is very... Eh... Nothing special.. there's no vibrancy or life in this store unless you count high school kids making long lines at the food court... On the outside. You see IMAX, 24 hr fitness, Macy's and Jack's prime... But if you go inside... You basically only see jack----..... If you're in the mood for food or actually wanting to see stores you won't find elsewhere... Santana Row or even Grand Century plaza just down the freeway will be more worth your time... And won't be as gloomy either.. Outside of having a big Spencer's store and Disney store.. there's nothing that stands out here... They might actually need a Chuckie Cheese here just to improve the quality of attractions and things to do in the immediate area..or at least add a Ice Husky location here to give it something new.. Grand Century has mostly Viet food in the area, but at least it's not the same ol same ol you would find in about every mall in northern California.. (Not to mention if your restaurant food quality sucks... You're easily replaceable there.. You don't see any of such standards here .) Santana Row may be expensive to shop at, but at least even with Dow shopping there is worth the walk... Just walking around Newark mall can be depressing.... If you end up here...I think your GPS system needs a software update cause it got you lost Might as well use some of the empty lots nearby and open a bowling alley or Lazer tag arena... That would make more money for the local community.. and be fun. For the kids.. without turning them into shopaholics at a young age... No wait.. apple already did that... We're screwed.. read more

Horrendous exchange policy! I purchased some tiaras and accessories for my daughter earlier today so we could play princess at home. We get home and realize one of the tiaras is broken (literally the crown piece is half separated from the headband portion) and the stick-on earrings were not sticking! I went back this evening (same day purchased) and asked to exchange them since they were damaged. Initially the manager and employee-in-training said it would be fine, but then at the end of the exchange the manager tells me that I have to pay the difference in the cost of the initial purchase and the current non-sale price of the item. The hell?! You see, I had purchased the items under "buy three get three" and they said I would have to return all the items in order to get a full refund and repurchase them with the sale price. I JUST WANTED TO EXCHANGE THE DAMAGED ITEMS! There is absolutely NO REASON why I should have to pay the difference in the current item if I am exchanging something sold me to faulty. I mean, it was the SAME DAY. I am a mom of two and I do not have the capacity to drive back home, find the other accessories, and drive back to the store. Not to mention that the manager should have told me this policy from the staff instead of wasting 15 minutes of my time. Jeez. Online is cheaper anyway...but I am not giving any more of my money to this stupid store. Customer service really does make or break it. read more

This mall does need some renovations however what I like about this place is that not very overcrowded and don't waste time finding a parking and they have pretty much the same stores like other shopping malls do. I will continue to come here whenever I'm in the area. read more

Went to this place earlier after a work meeting to kill time and avoid the traffic rush. It was my first time at this mall. I parked by "Burlington" and the parking lot was almost empty so I thought that was nice. Lol. I actually drove around the mall before I decided where to park. The side where the movie theater is was full parking. I saw a garage parking as well. I don't know if it is free or nah. Anyway, I went inside the mall via Burlington's entrance and the place looked very boring and empty.. On a Friday afternoon. And I thought it was hella nice! Haha. No annoying kids running around and crying and whatnot. (No offense) I didn't really explore the entire mall. I just went and checked out VS.. I spent at least an hour there and purchased stuff that I dont really need in my life.. at least for right now. (UGH) Then I went to check out Sanrio and then went back to my car. Yup. I'm boring like that. Hehe The atmosphere of the entire mall was so boring. It didn't feel like a mall. Or maybe because I was at the "boring" side of it? Idk. But I'll probably go back again if I have another meeting around the area. And maybe I'll update my review until then. read more

PLENTIFUL PARKING. 'nuf said. Actually, I went here today and there was a good amount of people. I like coming here on the weekdays though because NPM looks like a ghost town with the parking lot only housing the cars of mall employees. I'm actually surprised they are still doing business here. It's nice to shop with no one bugging you and the shelves and racks nicely organized at my favorite stores. There's not much to do in U.C. so the best thing to do is walk around this mall and wallow in its pathetic-ness. But it's hanging in there. At least there are decent stores to visit. read more

I find that parking is the biggest issue at this mall still since my first time there in the 90s. This mall serves its purpose to its community as a shopping center. But Stoneridge is much nicer, and I find that I'm more willing to drive out there for the better parking, shopping and food than going to Newpark when I used to live in Fremont. read more

This mall is dead. To be honest I don't see how it's still in business. I went here last Saturday and there was no one at the mall. As for the retailers, some people are nice and some are not, but I am not reviewing the retailers. Save your time and drive to Stoneridge or great mall. read more

One of the worst mall for men. If you go to macys they have such a small section for men where they have tried to put all the stuff thats arranged in Valley fair mall. Such a worst place. They have 3rd floor in Macys which is not mention in Directory. Guess what if you want to go Men's restroom you will never find it as directory says it's on first and second floor but in actual there is no restroom on first floor, second is just for women and luckily if you reach 3rd floor you'll find men's restroom but the floor itself is no where mentioned. 3rd class variety and Such a weekend turnoff place. Macy's read more

This used to be the spot when I was in high school! Now it's dwindle down a lot. Although they have been doing a lot of upgrades, it's still a little sad since there are a lot of stores that have been closing down. The saddest part is pretty much the food court. High turnover when it comes to new spots to eat. Hopefully more upgrades will be done to this mall! If you need something fast then this is not a bad mall to shop at. But it's definitely not one of the best. There are a lot of independent stores here which end up closing down fast. On the upside, the parking is awesome! There are plenty surrounding the mall. Overall it's well kept, and has the basic stores that I really shop at like Macys, Forever21, VS and Bath & Body Works. Another upside is the openness of the mall. It's a good place to walk around if you have a young child in a stroller. With that I appreciate the parking spot for Families. (Located in the parking garage) read more

Small mall and they still need my 75 character but idk what should I write, whatever that mall is pretty small and less people

This mall is small it dosent have many stores and There are better malles in the area with more shops. It is very low on traffic, which for me personaly is not a bad thing. Overall nothing special about it. read more

Some rennovations and cool stores and updated food court. I liked Yogu Ramen, MINISO, and a few other stores. Some of the mall is kinda dead. My main gripe with this mall is that it's always so hot and stuffy in their! Whoever the owner is: please turn on the air! I was sweating for an hour walking through your 85 degree mall. read more

I kind of enjoy it, it's getting better with more stores and restaurants, clean and not very crowded like most of the malls on the weekend. It's nice to spend sometimes there walk around, eat and little shopping and no need to afraid you will spend too much. read more

Most of the stores were not open. This mall used to be very crowded with a lot of shops, now is not. I hope more people coming o the mall to support the business. read more

With all the renovation this mall is going to look nice. I like the vision and the new look that they have. read more

NewPark Mall - Nice new outdoor spaces - Shopping Centers Near Me - Newark, California

See all

Whoa, why does this mall have such a low rating? I think this place is a 3.5 in my book, maybe close to a 4 once they add some more well-known stores! It's quite a large mall and the shape is pretty straight-forward, it's like a long rectangle like Hillsdale mall in San Mateo. I like that this place seems to be an up and coming sort of place. It's very clean. There's a mall, a Pieology, a Starbucks inside, a decent food court, and a variety of stores, most of which are pretty common. I like this place, to be honest. And the movie theater here is new! read more

I remember when this mall opened. Parking lot full to the max. Some great specialty stores. Now your mall is vacant of shoppers because you have horrible stores. Besides your anchor stores like Macy's, Sears, JCPenney, everything else is crap. Bring in Brookstone and other shops that have different appeal besides shoes and clothes. read more

After the construction is done hopefully it'll be better. Even though it's already such a bad mall. But the movie theater is really nice and comfy. Just the mall it self is boring haha. Would rather be going to great mall or valley fair. But this is closest other hat south land mall. Just would rather be at this mall then south land mall haha just saying read more

What happened to the Malls these days. Haven't been in a Mall in a long time and stopping in this place was shocking to see how low quality the service is in this mall, let alone the low quality of employees working here. They are all so depressed looking and not upbeat at all. read more

If there was an option for ZERO stars I would select it. One star is very generous for the experience my family and I had today. Yesterday was Halloween and there was a great turn out and an excellent Halloween vibe through out the mall. When we made our way to the Hallmark store my daughter noticed the Disney Evil Queen passing out Candy. My daughter who is five was super excited because she was dressed up as the Evil Queens daughter "Evie" from the Disney Movie Descendants. After receiving our candy, our daughter wanted to take a picture, so we politely asked the lady if our daughter can take a picture. We were then appalled and disgusted by her tone and her response. She had the nerve to respond with "Umm.. For a Donation?!" In front of our daughter! Instead of telling her off in front of everyone, we walked away and our daughter disappointed. Come on Really?!? Who does that? Im sorry, but I find it strange that other stores that had characters allowed pictures and the one store (Hallmark) was asking for donations. Donations for what? Cancer Research? There was no proper signage for anything. How would I know where the donation would go to? I find it off that someone would solicit donations while on the clock. My boss is a board member for the Walt Disney Company and I'm almost certain this would infuriate the Walt Disney company knowing that there are stores using their Disney Characters and soliciting money without proper authorization. Oh... And the name of the mall event was "Kid Fest" Thanks for showing the Halloween Spirit. NOT! read more

In a word: Ghetto Do yourself a favor, spend the extra $5 in gas and drive a little bit further to a place that wasn't forgotten by Father Time. read more

HOLY CRAP, I LOVE THIS MALL!!!!! Wanna go Fremont Fatty watchin? Yup, that's what I said... Let's go to Newpark! It's so freaking awesome I almost crap myself just thinking about it! My favorite is seeing all the dudes in Ghetto Gowns. You know what I'm talking about. T-shirts that are more like night gowns but someone awesome like fiddy cent or cool moe dee said it's okay to wear night gowns with your jeans. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! If you're into the whole mail order bride thing, this is your place to find them! There are dozens upon dozens of these for your viewing pleasure! My god, I love America! Now if you like coming to a mall with stores you can actually find stuff in, this is not the place for you. This is not the kind of mall where you can actually find stuff to buy. This is the kind of mall where you people watch....that, or get your nails done. You pick. If you are feeling down and want to find a place where you can judge others in silence, I highly recommend the Newpark mall. It's craptastic! The end. update 09-04-08 I got an awesome message from Hey P. who says... "you can tell you are young and stupid and probably didn't finish elementay school. do you know what ghetto sounds like? that would so be you!" Thanks P! I think you're awesome too! Let's do lunch! Hhahahahaah!!! Wanna meet at the food court? You can find Hey P. here.. http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=J7u-Y8FcBSkkBjQRaKsNFg read more

Well, I've never been to Rodeo Drive...mostly because I've got better things to do when I'm in LA (LACMA for instance), but I can still say with full confidence that this comparison is one hell of a stretch. If Rodeo Drive is the top (which I'm willing to bet it's not) this place is not far from the bottom (I've seen worse). You will find lower quality versions of the same stores you find elsewhere selling merchandise for the same price. It gets two stars because the food court is decent and because they have a New York and Company. read more

I wouldn't call this mall a "ghetto" place. It just lacks the vitality that a five-star mall would have. Obviously, when compared to Stoneridge and Westfield Valley Fair, this mall doesn't compete very well with them. However, it's not fair to say that it's a horrible just based on that. It's a decent mall with stores I like, including Zumiez, Hollister, and Cotton On. However, it might seem boring because the mall feels empty for the most part. I often find myself as the only shopper in the stores here. It was on a Sunday, too. I guess this mall is ideal if you prefer shopping with barely anyone else in the stores. I like the convenience of that, but it also makes me feel awkward at the same time. This isn't that bad of a mall, but I still prefer Stoneridge and Valley Fair. read more

In all fairness, this mall is nothing compared to Valley Fair or Stoneridge or even maybe the Great Mall in size or the number of stores. However, it's not too bad for it's size and there is plenty of parking so you don't need to fight for parking spaces especially during the holiday rush when you are you in a crunch for a gift. Sears, Macy, JCPenney, and Target is convieniently all connected to the mall as well. This mall could definitely use a renovation though. read more

Let's face it, this mall is barely holding on to its last breaths. I'm surprised it still exists because it has been slooowwwwly dying for a long while now. Stores have a super high turnover rate -- one month they're there and the next month they are gone. Obviously Forever 21, Macy's, Sears, Hollister and American Eagle are of the few that manage to stay alive in this mall. You may be in luck if you're looking for furniture because every so often, someone will think it is a good idea to open a furniture store in a mall and will open up said store. Food court is nothing amazing, but will do if you can't decide what food you want to eat beforehand. read more

Not my first mall of choice to shop at but I still go here to eat at Red Robins. I really don't know what's going on or happening to this place but I have noticed a number of stores are closing down. One sales associate from Sears said he would not be surprised if he sees this mall close down in 2 years. Big 5 is no longer here as well as the Daiso and the cheaper boutiques for women like Joppa and EOS are no longer in business. If I need a quick purchase, I'd go here but other than that, I'd most likely be at Westfield shops or Stoneridge mall. read more
