The county has more recreational facilities than ever, adding a new park, basketball gym, community center and house for office space last year, but declining property tax revenues may force facilities to be closed or result in less upkeep. The Newton County Recreation Commission is asking for a $300,000 increase to next fiscal year's budget to bring its budget to $2.1 million. The commission added Denny Dobbs Park and Cousins Gym to its facilities last year, and will open another small park in Fairview Estates off Fairview Road this year.
