2025 Summer Rec begins at the end of June!

To help serve our community better an online registration website is used for the Recreation program. For fastest registration access, residents are encouraged to register online from their homes for all programs. Go to www.NewsteadRec.com to create an account login for your family and set up your family profile. If you enter any information incorrectly into your family profile and need it fixed prior to registration call the Town Clerk's office at (716) 542-4573, option 2, and they will correct the information in the system for you. Programs fill up fast so we encourage you to register early!

The Recreation Program has offices at the Newstead Cultural Center, 33 Main St, Akron, NY  14001 and at the Akron High School Pool area.

All applications for recreation employment should be either dropped off at the Newstead Town Hall or mailed to: Recreation Department, P.O. Box 227, Akron, NY 14001. Hiring is done prior to each session of Recreation (Summer program and Fall-Winter Program). Being hired for a specific session of Recreation does not guarantee hiring for future sessions of Recreation.

The Town of Newstead has a well-established recreation program that uses many areas of the community. Most of the activities offered take place at the Akron Central High School, though the soccer fields, Akron Falls Park and Town Park are also used in promoting recreation throughout our town. The program provides activities for various age groups throughout the year. Summer program provides a full day of activities ranging from aquatics, arts and crafts, gym activities, to sport of the week. During the fall, winter, and spring activities are planned several nights a week at Akron Central High School, which include youth and adult activities. There is also a Saturday program which includes recreational and physical fitness activities.

The Town Board and Akron Central School liaisons support and work with many other recreational organizations in our town as well. The Akron Soccer League, Akron Sports Baseball and Akron Little League Football all benefit from the town's commitment to providing various forms of recreation to the different age groups in our community.

Any questions, comments, or concerns about current or up-coming events and activities, please contact the Director at (716) 392-7657.
