Today, the Northpark mall is 1,080,000 square feet, and features more than 100 inline tenants including a food court.

Freeman hospital added a soft play area in the Macy's women's court in the summer of 2014.

The anchor stores are Vintage Stock, TJ Maxx, H&M, JCPenney, and Dunham's Sports.

Northpark Mall opened in 1972,[2] on Range Line Road on the east side of Joplin.

At the time, the mall was anchored by Montgomery Ward to the north, JCPenney to the south, and local chain Newman's at the middle.

Montgomery Ward remained vacant until mid-2007, when its space was split between TJ Maxx and Steve & Barry's,[4] the latter of which closed in 2008 and was replaced by Vintage Stock.

In the summer of 2014, a soft play area for children was added in the Macy's women's court.

Both Macy's stores received a much needed makeover, including new fixtures, fresh paint, and new carpet.
