The York County Heritage Rail Trail cuts through the center of New Freedom.
The trail, which was established in 1992, runs from just south of New Freedom 21 miles (34 km) north into the city of York.
The trail also connects to 20-mile-long (32 km) Northern Central Railroad Trail in Maryland, heading south from the Mason-Dixon line.

Popular seasonal events in New Freedom include:
The New Freedom Lions Club Carnival, held annually in July since the 1930s
The Annual New Freedom Fest held the third weekend of September, a revival of the New Freedom's Farmers Improvement Fair that was held this same weekend in the early 1900s for many years
Outdoor Movie Night held three times each summer where families can gather with their blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy a classic movie.

Currently, a new community park is being built in the middle of town, which will be known as the "Freedom Greene."

New Freedom teens attend Susquehannock High School and Southern Middle School, part of Pennsylvania's Southern York County School District, as well as private schools including Shrewsbury Christian Academy, York Catholic High School, or York Country Day School.
In 2010, St. John the Baptist opened a new Roman Catholic Parochial School in the New Freedom borough.
