Central Point is a family- oriented community with several new subdivisions, a thriving parks and recreation program, as well as a school system that’s earned national recognition for its innovative and successful programs.
Jackson County Expo, home to the Jackson County Fair among other events, is located in Central Point. Also on Expo grounds, the new Lithia Amphitheater.
If you’re looking for a different way to celebrate Independence Day, look no further. Central Point puts on the kind of small-town, 4th of July parade that we all used to enjoy way back when.
Central Point Parks and Recreation offers many things for families, some of them are free, some are at a nominal fee. Friday nights in the summer, they feature free movies in the park! Children’s stories, arts and crafts, music instruction, sports and fitness, youth programs, after-school programs, outdoor camps, field days, senior programs and Special Olympics.
Central Point’s economy is based primarily on transportation, education, agriculture and tourism. And now, a new concept in development is taking place in this progressive, little town. Twin Creeks is a community that will encompass nearly 200 acres with up to 1500 new homes, row houses, offices, apartments, and parks.
In this little city that’s going places, business opportunities abound. And remember that Central Point has an excellent hotel, a variety of restaurants and many interesting shops.

Right at the base of Table Rock Mountain in Central Point is “Dogs for the Deaf”, the oldest and largest hearing dog training center in the U.S.! Dogs are rescued from shelters, trained and provided to the deaf and hard-of-hearing all over North America. These dogs provide sound awareness plus increased self-confidence and independence. In addition, Dogs for the Deaf trains Autism Assistance Dogs for children with autism, and Miracle Mutts for people who have had strokes as well as people with depression, anxiety, and a variety of other physical, mental, and emotional challenges.
Rescued dogs are NEVER returned to the shelter. They are always placed free of charge.Tour Dogs for the Deaf and see for yourself how "man's best friend" responds to sounds those of us in the hearing world take for granted; doorbells...smoke alarms...the ringing of a telephone... someone calling our name.... These animals make an incredible difference to someone who can't hear. Tours at this beautiful facility are free.
You can also learn more about Dogs for the Deaf at “Dog Walk”, their annual fundraiser. "Dog Walk" is always the first Saturday after Memorial Day in Medford's Hawthorne Park. It's always a good time and of course, EVERYONE's invited!
