OUR TAKE ON NEWARK
A far cry from the east coast town of the same name, this city of Newark takes up only 14 square miles of Northern California, and neighbors Fremont.
Travelers can enjoy the charm of a small town within the larger San Francisco Bay area. That means you can take advantage of all the big city attractions and then retreat to this quiet town on your Newark vacation to rejuvenate. Sounds like the best of both worlds!
September is a great time to visit, as you will get to participate in Newark Day. There is a celebration spanning the entire weekend where families can enjoy a carnival, a coloring contest and a parade. A great resource for Newark California lodging is this travel guide. On your Newark things to do list, animal lovers might want to check out the South San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge where animals can be observed in a natural habitat. There is 21,000 acres of land filled with all different species.
