NewPark Mall is a 1,161,681 square feet (107,923.7 m2) super-regional mall in Newark, California. Opened in August 1980, it currently houses more than 140 stores. It serves the Tri-City area (Fremont, Newark and Union City). The mall underwent extensive renovations that were completed in early 2017. Among the additions are a 12-screen AMC movie complex with an IMAX screen and an elaborate new glass-walled restaurant area with views through the entire property.

The Marin Farmers Markets nonprofit organization operates a farmers market on the mall property on Sunday.[4][5] The mall is adjacent to the Newark campus of Ohlone College and Newark Memorial High School.

The mall opened in 1980 with Macy's and Sears. A 1985 expansion added Mervyns, which relocated from the Fremont Hub.[6] Emporium-Capwell was added as in 1989,[7] followed by JCPenney in 1991.[8] The Emporium store closed and became Target in 1996.[6] Old Navy, which also move from Fremont Hub, was added in 2000. It closed in 2005 and became Steve & Barry's in 2007.[9] After Mervyns closed in 2007, it became Burlington Coat Factory in 2010.[10] Target relocated to the Pacific Commons Shopping Center in Fremont, California in 2012 and was replaced by AMC Theatres.[11]

The AMC Theater has the only Prime Theater in northern California.
