Recreation Department

The Town-owned Great Island Common, a 31 acre ocean side park, is the Town's recreational centerpiece.  The Common is open to residents without charge, and to non-residents for a small fee.  The Common is ideal for outdoor sports activities, picnicking, family gatherings, and swimming.  Ample parking and toilet facilities are available on the "Common" as well as swings, and other playground equipment for the youngsters.  Adjacent to Great Island Common is New Castle Beach.   Access to New Castle Beach is via Ocean Street or the Common and is open to the public.  Parking is very limited at "the beach".

The New Castle Recreation Center/Public Library is located on Wentworth Road (Rt. 1B) at the entrance to Great Island Common. The center is used for tennis, basketball, meetings, and special functions.  The use of the center is for New Castle residents and their guests only.

The Recreation Committe schedules various activities throughout the year, and generally plans sports functions for the Recreation Building.  Additional recreational facilities include three private yacht clubs, a private marina, and other private beaches.
